Create

php artisan make:controller ProductController

Methods

index, create, store, show, edit, destroy

Index

public function index()
{
	return view('product.index', [
		'Products' => Product::all()
	]);
}

Create

public function create()
{
	return view('product.create');
}

Store

With validation logic

public function store(Request $request)
{
	$validated = $request->validate([
		'name' => ['required', 'unique:products', 'max:255'],
		'slug' => ['required'],
	]);

	$validated = Product::create($request->all());

	return redirect()
		->route('product.create')
		->with('status', 'Product successfully added!');
}

Refactor: Validation with StoreRequest

public function store(StoreProductRequest $request)
{
	Product::create($request->validated());

	return redirect()
		->route('product.create')
		->with('status', 'Product successfully added!');
}

• ProductStoreRequest

/**

 * @return bool
 */
public function authorize()
{

}

/**

 *
 * @return array

		],
		'serial_number' => [
			'required',
			Rule::unique('products')->ignore($product->id),
