How to remove default index action on controller from laravel 5.5

Question

I am using Laravel 5.5 version. I defined my routes in the routes.php file. like this:-

$router->group(['middleware' => 'auth'], function($router) {
    $router->resource('/route-name', 'myController@myMethodName'); 
}); 

But when I run my application laravel gives error:-

Method [myMethodName@index] does not exist on [App\Http\Controllers\myController].

It is by default put index action after my defined action in the routes.
It is working fine in the laravel 5.3 version. Please solve my problem..

Answer 1

Try this as @devk told in comment:

$router->get('/route-name', 'myController@myMethodName');

Answer 2

By Default resource Request create CRUD requests in routes. For the following methods in Controller.

• Index(GET)
• Create(GET)
• Store(POST)
• Show(GET)
• edit(GET)
• Update(PUT/PATCH)
• Delete(DELETE)

You can't pass method name in resource route.

If you want to override any of them. you have to write new one route below the resource Route. Like

Route::get('url','Controller@newMethod');

And Change the method name in Controller with newMethod
