Add new methods to a resource controller in Laravel

Question

I want to know if it is possible to add new methods to a resource controller in Laravel and how you do it.

I know that these methods are the default (index, create, store, edit, update, destroy). Now I want to add additional methods and routes to the same controller.

Is that possible?

Answer 1

Just add a route to that method separately, before you register the resource:

Route::get('foo/bar', 'FooController@bar');
Route::resource('foo', 'FooController');
