Getting http://127.0.0.1:8000/route(‘welcome’) instead of http://127.0.0.1:8000/ in laravel 9

I’ve come across a peculiar bug in a laravel project of mine,

In my web.php I have a named route ‘welcome’ :

Route::get('/', function () {
    return view('welcome');
})->name('welcome');

This route contain my index page in which there’s a navigation component.

Through an AppServiceProvider I’m passing data to the navigation component

The data im passing is a simple table containing this :

{ name : “home”,

href : “route(‘welcome’)”

}

<nav>

@foreach

<a href=" {{ myData->href }} "> {{ myData->name }} </a>

@endforeach

</nav>

The problem is that when I click on the link “home” it sends me to this address :

http://127.0.0.1:8000/route(‘welcome’) https://i.stack.imgur.com/FaET1.png

Instead of http://127.0.0.1:8000/

and this is a problem with every single link, it always returns

http://127.0.0.1:8000/route(‘myLink’)

this is my complete web.php for further information

Route::get('/', [HomeController::class, 'index'])->name('welcome');

Route::get('/dashboard', function () {
    return view('dashboard');
})->middleware(['auth', 'verified'])->name('dashboard');

require __DIR__.'/auth.php';

Route::resource('/nav', NavController::class);




// // Fallback page error 404

Route::fallback(FallbackController::class);

If you need more information please ask me, i’ve been trying to fix this issue for 2 days, and it is frustrating me.

I tried route:clear, cache:clear, view:clear and nothing changes.

Is it the format at which I’ve stored the name of the route that isn’t working ?

The thing is it was working for an hour or two. and now impossible to fix it.

I hope someone here can help.

Josh’s solution is working.

The route(‘welcome’) was passed through as a string. and the function route() was not called.

Answer

In your data, for the key href you just need to store welcome instead of route('welcome'). Then in your blade template, you can do

<a href="{{ route(myData->href) }}">login here</a>

The reason your solution is not working is that you just have the word route stored as a string, you aren’t actually calling the function called route.
