class CompanyController extends Controller
{
    /**
    * Display a listing of the resource.
    *

    public function index()
    {
        $companies = Company::orderBy('id','desc')->paginate(5);
        return view('companies.index', compact('companies'));
    }

    /**

    * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
    */
    public function create()
    {
        return view('companies.create');

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

        Company::create($request->post());

        return redirect()->route('companies.index')->with('success','Company has been created successfully.');
    }

    /**
    * Display the specified resource.
    *
    * @param  \App\company  $company
    * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
    */
    public function show(Company $company)
    {
        return view('companies.show',compact('company'));
    }

    /**
    * Show the form for editing the specified resource.
    *
    * @param  \App\Company  $company
    * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
    */
    public function edit(Company $company)
    {
        return view('companies.edit',compact('company'));
    }

    /**
    * Update the specified resource in storage.
    *
    * @param  \Illuminate\Http\Request  $request
    * @param  \App\company  $company
    * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
    */
    public function update(Request $request, Company $company)

        $company->fill($request->post())->save();

        return redirect()->route('companies.index')->with('success','Company Has Been updated successfully');
    }

    /**
    * Remove the specified resource from storage.
    *
    * @param  \App\Company  $company
    * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
    */
    public function destroy(Company $company)

        return redirect()->route('companies.index')->with('success','Company has been deleted successfully');
    }

Step 5 – Create Routes

Then create routes for laravel crud app. So, open the web.php file from the routes directory of laravel CRUD app. And update the following routes into the web.php file:

Route::resource('companies', ComapnyController::class);
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Step 6 – Create Blade Views File

Create the directory and some blade view, see the following:

  • Make Directory Name Companies
  • index.blade.php
  • create.blade.php
  • edit.blade.php

Create directory name companies inside the resources/views directory.

Note that, create index.blade.php, create.blade.php, and edit.blade.php inside the companies directory. And update the following code into the following files:

index.blade.php:
