Laravel 404 page not found, route exists

Question

I am trying to navigate to my "productdetail" page but it givdes me a 404. The route to productdetail does exists. I am trying to give product information from shop to productdetail

My controller:

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use DB;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Product;

class ProductsController extends Controller
{
    public function __construct()
    {
        $this->middleware('auth');
    }

    public function shopindex()
    {
        $productsOTs = DB::select(DB::raw("SELECT * FROM wiz.productimages WHERE Afkorting = 'PPI' LIMIT 83, 3"));
        return view('shop', compact('productsOTs'));
    }

    public function productdetail(Product $Product)
    {   
        return view('Products.productdetail', compact('productsOT'));

    }

}

My shop page link to productdetail:

           @foreach ($productsOTs as $productsOT)
                <div class="card ot-product" id="heightwidthfix">
                    <img class="card-img-top cardstop" src="{{$productsOT->imagelink}}" alt="Card image cap" id="myshopmodal1" height="400px" width="300px">
                    <div class="card-body">
                        <h5 class="card-title">{{$productsOT->Productomschrijving}}</h5>
                        <p class="card-text">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit.</p>
                    </div>
                    <div class="card-body">
                        <a href="/shop/productdetail/{{ $productsOT->Productcode }}" class="card-link">Bekijk hier het product</a>
                    </div>
                </div>
            @endforeach

My routes:

Route::get('/shop', ['middleware' => 'auth', 'uses' => 'ProductsController@shopindex']);
Route::get('/shop/productdetail/{product}', ['middleware' => 'auth', 'uses' => 'ProductsController@productdetail']);

I have been struggling with this problem for a while now, i hope someone can help me.

Answer 1

Why don't you try to put a name for your route

Route::get('/shop/productdetail/{product}', ['middleware' => 'auth', 'uses' => 'ProductsController@productdetail'])->name('show-product');

then call it through it's name:

<a href="{{route('show-product',$productsOT->Productcode) }}" class="card-link">Bekijk hier het product</a>

This will might solve your problem otherwise the problem is not on the route.

Answer 2

Change this line:

<a href="/shop/productdetail/{{ $productsOT->Productcode }}" class="card-link">Bekijk hier het product</a>

into

<a href="{{ url('shop/productdetail/'.$productsOT->Productcode) }}" class="card-link">Bekijk hier het product</a>

This is the minor mistake. Change this, I hope it is helpful. Thanks
