[1] Add page to view records

Create a new route: Open your routes/web.php file and add a route that maps to a controller method or a closure.

use App\Http\Controllers\MemberController;

Route::get('/members', [MemberController::class, 'index'])->name('members.index');

Create a new controller: Run the following command to generate a new controller:

php artisan make:controller MemberController

This will create a new MemberController.php file in the app/Http/Controllers directory.

Define the index method: Open the MemberController.php file and define the index method. This method will handle the logic for retrieving all members and passing them to the view.

File C:\laragon\www\razzi\app\Http\Controllers\MemberController.php :

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Models\Member;

class MemberController extends Controller
{
    public function index()
    {
        $members = Member::all();
        return view('members.index', compact('members'));
    }
}

Create a view: Create a new file named index.blade.php in the resources/views/members directory. This file will contain the HTML markup for displaying the members.

File C:\laragon\www\razzi\resources\views\members\index.blade.php:

<h1>Members</h1>

<table>
    <thead>
        <tr>
            <th>Name</th>
            <th>Email</th>
        </tr>
    </thead>
    <tbody>
        @foreach ($members as $member)
        <tr>
            <td>{{ $member->name }}</td>
            <td>{{ $member->email }}</td>
        </tr>
        @endforeach
    </tbody>
</table>
