How to create a common routing rule in laravel 5.1?

Question

I am new in laravel. By doc, I got that i have write rule for every different url. Is it so? I just wanted a common routing rule which works for all urls something like

Route::get('/{Controller}/{method}', $Controller.'@'.$method);

I know this is wrong, I tried a lot but can't get proper sentence.

I simply want that first segment after Base Url become controller name and second segment become method name.

I recommend not to do this! See https://philsturgeon.uk/blog/2013/07/beware-the-route-to-evil/ to read about the benefits of defining routes — Pᴇʜ, Jun 17 '15 at 07:50

I suppouse You can - if You must - do sth like that:

Route::get('/{controller}/{method}', function($controller, $method) {
    $name = "\App\Http\Controllers\\" . $controller . 'Controller';
    $class = new $name();
    return $class->{$method}();
});

or if You have static methods:

Route::get('/{controller}/{method}', function($controller, $method) {
    return call_user_func(array("\App\Http\Controllers\\" . $controller . 'Controller', $method));
});

But I don't think this is a good idea.

This way You loose all 'power' of laravel routing (because this is just one route).

For example:

You can't refer to choosen method by route name
You can't attach middleware to specific routes etc.

It is always better to be more explicit.

At least You can use one of these:

Route::resource() or
Rotute::controller()

In both cases You will need to define routes for each controller, though.

Examples:

Route::resource('photo', 'PhotoController');

and then follow method name convention in Your controller (index, create etc.).

More here: http://laravel.com/docs/5.0/controllers#restful-resource-controllers

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

and then prefix Your controller method by http method like: public function getIndex()

For the time I used this,

$controller = '';
$method = '';
$segments = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
$segments = str_replace('/cp/public/index.php/', '', $segments);
$arr_seg = explode('/',$segments);
if(count($arr_seg) > 1){
    $controller = $arr_seg[0];
    $method = $arr_seg[1];
}

Route::get('/{var1}/{var2}',$controller.'@'.$method);

And it's working for me.
