Laravel Routing: 17 MCQs with answers

routes/web.php

In Laravel, web routes are defined in routes/web.php. This file is loaded by the RouteServiceProvider.

GET

The GET method is used to request data from a specified resource. In Laravel, Route::get() defines a route that responds to GET requests.

Route::get('/user/{id}', ...)

Laravel uses curly braces to define route parameters, e.g., {id}.

By type-hinting the parameter in the controller method

Route parameters are injected into controller methods as arguments. You can also access them via the Request object.

Route::get()

Route::get() defines a route that responds to GET requests. Similarly, other methods exist for other verbs.

True

Route::any() registers a route that responds to any HTTP verb (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, etc.).

Route::match()

Route::match() allows you to specify an array of HTTP verbs that the route should respond to. Route::any() responds to all verbs.

->name('profile')

The name() method is used to assign a name to a route, allowing you to generate URLs or redirects easily.

web

Routes in routes/web.php are automatically assigned the 'web' middleware group, which includes session state, CSRF protection, etc.

To create multiple routes for a resource controller

Route::resource() generates all the necessary routes for a typical 'CRUD' resource controller.

Route::prefix('admin')->group(...)

The prefix() method is used to add a prefix to all routes within a group. Alternatively, you can use the 'prefix' key in the group array.

Route::get('/profile', ...)->middleware('auth')

The middleware() method is used to assign middleware to a route.

route('profile')

The global route() helper function generates a URL for a given named route.

True

API routes are stateless and do not include session state or CSRF protection, unlike web routes.

Route::fallback()

Route::fallback() defines a route that will be executed when no other route matches the incoming request.

To create API resource routes without 'create' and 'edit' routes

Route::apiResource() excludes the 'create' and 'edit' routes, which are not needed for APIs.

Automatically injecting model instances into routes based on route parameters

Route model binding automatically resolves Eloquent models from route parameters. For example, {user} will inject the User model with matching ID.
