GET Route in Laravel

Laravel provides a simple poweful routing system for laravel application . Get Route Use for get request like get data and resources from server.

What is a GET Route?

A GET request is used to get information from server. like blog post , blog category etc.

Defining a GET Route in Laravel

In Laravel, you can define `GET` routes using the Route::get() method. Here’s how you define a simple `GET` route in the routes/web.php file:

             
Route::get('/welcome', function () {
    return 'Welcome to Laravel!';
});
            
        

The above route will return a simple string when the `/welcome` URL is accessed via a `GET` request.

GET Route with Views

Often, `GET` routes return a view rather than just a string. Laravel provides a powerful view rendering system that allows you to pass dynamic data to views. Here’s how you can define a route that returns a view:

            
Route::get('/blog', function () {
    return view('blog.index');
});
            
        

In the above example, the route fetches the blog.index view and returns it when the `/blog` URL is accessed.

GET Route with Data

You can also pass dynamic data to the view using `GET` routes. Here’s an example that retrieves blog posts from a database and displays them:

            
Route::get('/blog', function () {
    $blogs = \App\Models\Blog::all();
    return view('blog.index', compact('blogs'));
});
            
        

This route fetches all blog posts from the database using Eloquent and passes them to the view.

Displaying Data in a View with Tailwind CSS

Let’s now look at how to display the blog posts in a view using Tailwind CSS for styling.

            
        <div class="container mx-auto p-4">
            <h1 class="text-3xl font-bold text-center my-6">Latest Blogs</h1>
        
            <div class="grid grid-cols-1 sm:grid-cols-2 lg:grid-cols-3 gap-6">
                @foreach ($blogs as $blog)
                    <div class="bg-white p-4 rounded-lg shadow-lg">
                        <h2 class="text-xl font-semibold text-gray-800">{{ $blog->title }}</h2>
                        <p class="text-gray-600 my-2">{{ Str::limit($blog->content, 150) }}</p>
                        <a href="/blog/{{ $blog->slug }}" class="text-blue-500 hover:underline">Read More</a>
                    </div>
                @endforeach
            </div>
        </div>
            
        

The code above creates a responsive blog posts using Tailwind's css. The blog title and content snippet are displayed for each blog post.
