How to route GET and POST for same pattern in Laravel?

Question

Does anyone know of any way in Laravel 4 which combines these 2 lines into one?

Route::get('login', 'AuthController@getLogin');
Route::post('login', 'AuthController@postLogin');

So instead of having to write both you only have to write one since their both using the 'same' method but also the URL remains as site.com/login instead of a redirect to site.com/auth/login?

I'm curious since I remember CI has something like that where the URL remains the same and the controller is never shown:

$route['(method1|method2)'] = 'controller/$1';

The docs say...

Route::match(array('GET', 'POST'), '/', function()
{
    return 'Hello World';
});

I'm sorry but how is this getting so many upvotes? Yes it explains how you use both GET and POST but says nothing about how to call the different methods depending on the request type. – lennard Apr 16 '16 at 12:58

See the below code.

Route::match(array('GET','POST'),'login', 'AuthController@login');

You can combine all HTTP verbs for a route using:

Route::any('login', 'AuthController@login');

This will match both GET and POST HTTP verbs. And it will also match for PUT, PATCH & DELETE.

How would you check if the verb is a `GET` or `POST`? – enchance Aug 20 '13 at 03:26
You can always use `$_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] === 'POST'`, but I will not recommend to mix in one action two logic... the idea with controller is to **separate the logic** in conjunction with Post-Redirect-Get pattern. Take 2 or 3 mins to read this specific thread: https://github.com/laravel/laravel/pull/1517. – Rubens Mariuzzo Aug 20 '13 at 10:43

@enchance , you can check is it `GET` or `POST` with: `if (Request::isMethod('post'))` `{` `//...` `}` – Sid Dec 22 '14 at 23:52

Route::any('login', 'AuthController@login');

and in controller:

if (Request::isMethod('post'))
{
// ... this is POST method
}
if (Request::isMethod('get'))
{
// ... this is GET method
}
...

You could try the following:

Route::controller('login','AuthController');

Then in your AuthController class implement these methods:

public function getIndex();
public function postIndex();

It should work ;)

Note from the future: [implicit controllers are deprecated in Laravel 5.2 and will be removed in the future](http://benjaminkohl.com/post/implicit-controller-routing-is-deprecated-in-laravel-5-2). – jojonas Apr 21 '16 at 12:03

As per the latest docs, it should be

Route::match(['get', 'post'], '/', function () {
    //
});

In Routes

Route::match(array('GET','POST'),'/login', 'AuthController@getLogin');

In Controller

public function login(Request $request){
    $input = $request->all();
    if($input){
     //Do with your post parameters
    }
    return view('login');
}

In laravel 5.1 this can be achieved by Implicit Controllers. see what I found from the laravel documentation

Route::controller('users', 'UserController');

Next, just add methods to your controller. The method names should begin with the HTTP verb they respond to followed by the title case version of the URI:

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

class UserController extends Controller
{
    /**
     * Responds to requests to GET /users
     */
    public function getIndex()
    {
        //
    }

    /**
     * Responds to requests to GET /users/show/1
     */
    public function getShow($id)
    {
        //
    }

    /**
     * Responds to requests to GET /users/admin-profile
     */
    public function getAdminProfile()
    {
        //
    }

    /**
     * Responds to requests to POST /users/profile
     */
    public function postProfile()
    {
        //
    }
}

Use match to handle both methods

Route::match(['GET','POST'], 'users', UserController@store);

Right, I'm answering using my mobile, and so I haven't tested this (if I remember correctly, it isn't in the documentation either). Here goes:

Route::match('(GET|POST)', 'login',
    'AuthController@login'
);

That should do the trick. If it doesn't, then Taylor had it removed from the core; which would then mean that nobody was using it.
