controller@store not defined error in laravel

Question

I installed laravelcollective and am trying to run the following code

{!! Form::open(['action' => 'ProductController@store','method' => 'POST']) !!}
    <div class="form-group">
        {{Form::label('title','Title')}}
        {{Form::text('title',['class' => 'form-control', 'placeholder' => 'Title'])}}
    </div>
{!! Form::close() !!}

I get this error

App\Http\Controllers\ProductController@store not defined. (View: /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/lsapp/resources/views/product/create.blade.php)

When I run php artisan route:list I see:

for the best practice and to have maintained code I wish to follow my advice :

1) go to routes/web.php and add name to your ProductController@store method like this :

Route::post('','ProductController@store')->name('products.store');

2) go to you create.blade.php file and change it like this :

{!! Form::open(array( 'route'=>'products.store')) !!} 
    <div class="form-group">    
    {{Form::label('title','Title')}}  
    {{Form::text('title',['class' => 'form-control', 'placeholder' => 'Title'])}} 
    </div>

When you use the Laravel Collective form with action, you do not declare the method as the second parameter, that's only if you declare a url, you use that as route parameters, usually to add in an ID if one is needed in the url. First, try and remove the 'method' => 'POST' section and see if that works.

You can check the documentation for Laravel Collective here to show that you don't need it. laravelcollective.com/docs/master/html

Have you created a resource controller or a single route in your routes/web.php file?

You have couple of options here:

For your Form::open, you can use either Action, Route or URL

Action:

   {!! Form::open(['action' => 'ProductController@store']) !!}
    // By default, a POST method will be assumed 
        <div class="form-group">
            {{Form::label('title','Title')}}
            {{Form::text('title',['class' => 'form-control', 'placeholder' => 'Title'])}}
        </div>
    // If you use the Form::open method with POST, PUT or DELETE the CSRF token will be added to your forms as a hidden field automatically.
    {!! Form::close() !!}

Route:

First name your route in your routes/web.php file:

Route::post('/productURL', 'ProductController@store')->name('productRouteName');

Then open the form:

{!! Form::open(['route' => 'productRouteName'] !!}

URL:

Just call the url from the route you created above..

{!! Form::open(['url' => 'productURL'] !!}

He has created a resource controller, most likely by using "php artisan make:controller ProductController --resource" in a terminal. You can check if you have this by viewing your routes by using "php artisan route:list".

So you have not created your Product route yet? If you havent already, run the make:controller command in my comment above, and then add "Route::resource('product','ProductController');" to your routes/web.php file.

Also, I see you have created an EventController already. Whilst you are learning, its a good idea to follow the coding conventions and use CamelCase to name your controllers.

Hello, I have added that, It seems that just @update isnt working ? all the other routes in the controller are
