Why laravel scolds that Route is not found, although it is?

Question

Laravel

Registered REST routers for my products

Route::get('product', 'ProductControl[email protected]');
Route::post('product', '[email protected]');
Route::get('product/create', '[email protected]');
Route::patch('product/{product}', '[email protected]');
Route::get('product/{product}', '[email protected]');
Route::put('product/{product}', '[email protected]');
Route::get('product/{product}/edit', '[email protected]');
Route::delete('product/{product}', '[email protected]');

I created a link on the main page and put the "product" route with the "index" method into it.

<a class="navbar-brand" href="{{ route('product.index') }}">Спортивные товары</a>

Everything should work according to the idea, but when following this route, localhost: 8000 / product
gives such an error, supposedly the router is not defined.

Route [product.index] not defined. (View: D:\OpenServer\domains\sportgoods\resources\views\index.blade.php)

Where did you make a mistake?

Answer 1

Because it is necessary to give names to routes. Laravel does this automatically if you declare REST routes as in the documentation .
