DashboardController

[blondie63]

This is probably not a problem related to Backpack but perhaps a shortcoming of mine which not even GPT was able to resolve..
In my web.php I have this code:

<?php

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;
use App\Http\Controllers\DashboardController;


Route::get('/', function () {
    if (backpack_auth()->check()) {
        return redirect()->route('backpack.dashboard');
    } else {
        return view('welcome');
    }
});

Which works perfectly, but now I created a DashboardController because I need to run queries and pass data to dashboard.blade.php
How can I do ?
GPT suggests that I add the line to web.php
Route::get('dashboard', [DashboardController::class, 'index'])->name('backpack.dashboard');
but it doesn't work, due to an error..
Some advice ? Thanks for help :)

Hi @blondie63

What error did you get?

If you want to control dashboard routes yourself, in config/backpack/base.php set to false

'setup_dashboard_routes' => false,
``

Then in your web you can set routes like this:

Route::get('dashboard', 'AdminController@dashboard')->name('backpack.dashboard');
Route::get('/', 'AdminController@redirect')->name('backpack');

Let me know if you need something else.

Cheers.

Thanks for your help !
