How to return routes to views in laravel

Question

I just tried loading a view using a route like so:

route.php
Route::get("/page", function(){
   return View::make("dir.page");
});


controller.php
View::make("/page");

...and an error was thrown. So my question is:

Is it possible to load a route via a view and if its possible then how?

Thanks.

Answer 1

In Laravel 5.5 you can now do:

Route::view('/page', 'dir.page');

Answer 2

Your should return your View.

So this will work fine:

Route::get("/page", function(){
   return View::make("dir.page");
});
