Form action not correctly triggered in PHP Laravel 5.5

Question

I am using the Forms provided by Laravel Collective and it is correctly installed. What I'm trying to do is to validate the Form in PictureController.php Just like this:

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Picture;
use DB;

class PictureController extends Controller
{

    /**
     * Create a new controller instance.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function __construct()
    {
        $this->middleware('auth');
    }

    /**
     * Display a listing of the resource.
     *
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function index()
    {
        $pictures = Picture::all();
        return view('welcome')->with('pictures', $pictures);
    }

    /**
     * Show the form for creating a new resource.
     *
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function create()
    {
        return view('pictures.publicize');
    }

    /**
     * Store a newly created resource in storage.
     *
     * @param  \Illuminate\Http\Request  $request
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function store(Request $request)
    {
        $this->validate($request, [
          'hashtag' => 'required',
        ]);
        return 123;
    }

    /**
     * Display the specified resource.
     *
     * @param  int  $id
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function show($id)
    {
        //
    }

    /**
     * Show the form for editing the specified resource.
     *
     * @param  int  $id
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function edit($id)
    {
        //
    }

    /**
     * Update the specified resource in storage.
     *
     * @param  \Illuminate\Http\Request  $request
     * @param  int  $id
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function update(Request $request, $id)
    {
        //
    }

    /**
     * Remove the specified resource from storage.
     *
     * @param  int  $id
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function destroy($id)
    {
        //
    }
}

And this is the code snippet of publicize.blade.php which contains this form.

{!! Form::open(array(
                                    'action' => 'PictureController@store',
                                    'method' => 'POST',
                                    'files' => true
                                  ))
                                !!}
                                  <div class="form-group">
                                    {{ Form::label('hashtag', 'HashTag') }}
                                    {{ Form::text('hashtag', '', ['placeholder' => 'Eg. #Happiness', 'class' => 'form-control', 'name' => 'hashtag' /*'required'*/]) }}
                                  </div>
                                    {{ Form::submit('Publicize', ['class' => 'btn btn-primary']) }}
                                {!! Form::close() !!}

And in the routes/web.php, this is the code written...

Route::resource('/', 'PictureController');

I have also submitted whole code on GitHub. Just look at this commit to take a look at all the files.

The problem is.. When I look into the Source Code in browser, I see that action attribute in the form equals the home url, i.e /public/. It looks like the form is not connected to the controller and method I specified in publicize.blade.php. How can I make that form work properly with validations?

Thanks for help in advance.

@MayankMajithya Not completely, when I set the routes to picture, it worked. But what if I want to be at home page? — Kumar Abhirup, Mar 18 '18 at 00:32

update route, web.php ( you should try this way )

Route::resource('/', 'PictureController');

update action attribute also,

{!! Form::open(array(
        'action' => '/',
        'method' => 'POST',
        'files' => true
      ))
!!}

You have to give a name in route, For example :

Route::resource('picture', 'PictureController');

And set on your blade like this,

{!! Form::open(array(
                     'action' => 'picture',
                     'method' => 'POST',
                     'files' => true
              ))
!!}
