Is there any difference between url()->route("named_route") and route("named_route")?

Question

Laravel

Hi all.
I have always used url()->route() in links until recently. But they suggested that you can simply route ('route_names')
Tell me, there is no difference how to use it? Or is there still a difference with url()-> or without?

Answer 1

We look at the source of the route function:

function route($name, $parameters = [], $absolute = true)
{
    return app('url')->route($name, $parameters, $absolute);
}

Conclusion - no difference.

Answer 2

There is no difference other than the number of characters - both ultimately use \Illuminate\Routing\UrlGenerator.
PS Set yourself an IDE and you can easily answer such questions yourself - just go to the definition of the functions of interest.

Answer 3

Both ways are aliases https://laravel.com/api/5.6/Illuminate/Routing/Url...
