Laravel: RESTful controller

Question

If you had defined a RESTful controller in routes.php

Route::controller('users', 'UserController');

and the following functions in the UserController class

public function getLogin() { ... }
public function postLogin() { ... }

Do we even need to define Route::post('user/login', 'UserController@postLogin') anymore?

No - because the RESTful controller route includes that.

You can test this by running php artisan routes to see a list of all registered routes in your application.

Thanks. In my php artisan routes output, I have GET|HEAD user/login/{one?}/{two?}/{three?}/{four?}/{five?} which will be handled by UserController@getLogin. Do I need to take care of the {one?}/{two?}...? Same thing with the PUT entry.

@moey you don't have to worry about those parameter, the ? denotes optional parameter. If you do pass parameter to your controller method, say @getLogin, you can automatically catch the parameter by declaring public function getLogin($anyName) {}

@JofryHS: +1, thanks. So, does it mean getLogin($param1, $param2) will take care of the 2 arguments in /user/login/arg1/arg2?
