In the Laravel application we just simply run a command to make a controller in Laravel 9. See the following example below:

Create controller in Laravel

 

Now you will see the generated controller in your Controllers directory:


app/Http/Controllers/EmployeesController.php

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;

class EmployeesController extends Controller
{
    //
}

 

 

Make a Laravel Controller Route

Because we have our controller created already we will next create our route and connect it to our controller.

 

routes/web.php

Route::get('/employees', 'EmployeesController@index')->name('employees.index');

 

 

Setup Controller Index Method

Now let's create our index() method for our created controller.

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;

class EmployeesController extends Controller
{
    public function index() 
    {
        return view('employees.index');
    }
}

 

 

Setup View for our Controller

Next, we will create our view for our controller. First, create employees folder then create index.blade.php.

 

resources/views/employees/index.blade.php

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
	<meta charset="utf-8">
	<title>Emplooyes Lists</title>
</head>
<body>
	<h1>Employees</h1>
</body>
</html>
