Target class [PostController] does not exist. but it dose

Question

The error I am getting is: Target class [PostController] does not exist but it does.

Route `web.php`

Route::get('/post', 'PostController@index');
Route::post('/post', 'PostController@store');

Route::get('/', function () {
    return view('create');
});

`PostController.php`

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use App\Post;
use Redirect,Response;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;

class PostController extends Controller
{
    public function index()
    {
        return view('create');
    }

    public function store(Request $request)
    {
        $data = json_encode($request);
        Post::create($data);

        return back()->withSuccess('Data successfully store in json format');
    }
}

You should try command "composer dump-autoload" and Restart your "php artisan serve" — Gautam Patadiya, Apr 21 '21 at 03:22

This error comes in Laravel new version because there is no namespace prefix being applied to your route groups that your routes are loaded into. In the old version of Laravel, the RouteServiceProvider contained a $namespace property which would automatically be prefixed onto the controller route.

To solve this, you either can go to RouteServiceProvider and uncomment the line:

protected $namespace = 'App\\Http\\Controllers';

Or you can use closure-based syntax:

use App\Http\Controllers\PageController;

Route::get('/page', [PageController::class, 'index']);

Another way would be to use the fully qualified class names for your Controllers:

Route::get('/page', 'App\Http\Controllers\PageController@index');

now it showing this Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Builder::create(): Argument #1 ($attributes) must be of type array, string given, called in – Abdullah Al Shahed Apr 21 '21 at 03:53
that's because you are JSON encoding the data. Try `Post::create($request->only('title', 'body', ...))` – P. K. Tharindu Apr 21 '21 at 03:57
Thanks now this is error :--- Add [title] to fillable property to allow mass assignment on [App\Models\Post]. – Abdullah Al Shahed Apr 21 '21 at 04:05
