LARAVEL 7, Undefined variable, cant pass Variable from Controller to View

im new at Laravel, and im making a CRUD following this tutorial:

https://appdividend.com/2020/03/13/laravel-7-crud-example-laravel-7-tutorial-step-by-step/

first i made it on my own, and then i just copied the code from GitHub, in both cases im getting in the variable inside the @foreach:

FacadeIgnitionExceptionsViewException Undefined variable: coronacases

I searched a bit and tryed some other solutions with no luck, so i started a new project with just index function to see if data is passed from controler to view.

This is my code, Controller:

// TestController


namespace AppHttpControllers;

use IlluminateHttpRequest;

class TestController extends Controller
{

    public function index()
    {
        $name = 'hugo';

        return view('test', compact('name'));
    }

Alternative sintaxys tested in Controller:

/***
* return view('/test', compact('name'));
* return view('name', ['name' => 'James']); with out $name = 'hugo'; earier.
* return view('test', $name]);
* return view('test')->with('name', $data);
* return view('test')->with('name', 'hugo'); with out $name = 'hugo'; earier.
* other solutions tryed here dosnt seems to change anything.
***/

Routes:

Route::get('/', function () {
    return view('test');
});
Route::resource('test', 'TestController');

Alternative Routes Tested:

/***
* Route::get('/test', 'TestController@index');
*
* Route::get('/', function () {
*    return view('test', ['name' => 'James']);
*}); //this one worked, but its not getting data from Controller, so its now what i need
*
*Route::get('/', function () {
*    return view('test', ['name' => $data]);
*}); //didnt work
*
***/ // I think that the problem is here, im having trouble understanding Routes at Laravel Docs

View:

<html>
    <body>
        <h1>Hello, {{ $name }}</h1>
    </body>
</html>

Also tryed at View:

/***
* $data
* <?php echo $data ?>
* {{ $name ?? '' }}
***/

All this Test, and im getting same error, Im missing Something and i cant figure it out… or i have some trouble with Laravel,the sure things is that im stuck.

php artisan route:list resoult:

Answer

You’ve defined a function called index on your TestController but you have not used it. In your route, you are not using the controller and that function , so you get this error.
Your method is like : route > view
It should be : route > controller > view

So Change your route :

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

Route::get('/', 'TestController@index');

Cheers 🙂
