Laravel routes, what's the syntax for (uses ..., as ...)?

Question

Laravel

https://github.com/developerdino/example-articles-...

Route::get(
    'articles/{article}/relationships/author',
    [
        'uses' => \App\Http\Controllers\ArticleRelationshipController::class . '@author',
        'as'   => 'articles.relationships.author',
    ]
);

What does the array passed as the second argument mean, where can I read about it?

Answer 1

uses is a callback, that is, what will be executed when your path pattern matches the path in the browser, translated as "use", in the example the controller method is used
as -- the name of the route, so that later it can be accessed from view for example and get the path
judging by this piece - there are a lot of routes and they are connected by common sections, so you can combine them into groups and namespaces and thereby improve the readability of the code!
