Controllers

MoonShine allows you to work in a familiar manner using controllers

We provide you with our basic controller, which helps you conveniently work with the UI and render your views with MoonShine layout

Useful for displaying your complex solutions or writing additional handlers

# Generate controller 

php artisan moonshine:controller

# Show blade view 

namespace App\MoonShine\Controllers;
 
use MoonShine\MoonShineRequest;
use MoonShine\Http\Controllers\MoonshineController;
use Illuminate\Contracts\View\View;
 
final class CustomViewController extends MoonshineController
{
    public function __invoke(MoonShineRequest $request): View
    {
        return $this
            ->view('path_to_blade', ['param' => 'value'])
            //->setLayout('custom_layout')
            ->render();
    }
}

# Display page 

namespace App\MoonShine\Controllers;
 
use MoonShine\MoonShineRequest;

use MoonShine\Pages\Page;
 
final class CustomViewController extends MoonshineController
{
    public function __invoke(MoonShineRequest $request): Page
    {
        return MyPage::make();
    }
}
