Sorry, the page you are looking for could not be found. laravel

Question

I am trying to redirect the admin to dashboard page by the following codes but when I enter /dashboard, the browser displays a NotFoundHttpException error page.

Middleware (AdminCheck.php) :

<?php

namespace App\Http\Middleware;

use Closure;

class AdminCheck
{

    public function handle($request, Closure $next)
    {
        $user = auth()->authenticate();

        if ($user->role !== 'admin')
        {
            return redirect(route('login'));
        }

        return $next($request);
    }
}

Kernel.php (App\Http\Kernel.php) :

protected $routeMiddleware = [
        ...
        'adminCheck' => \App\Http\Middleware\AdminCheck::class,
    ];

Route (App\routes\web.php) :

Route::get('dashboard', function (){
    // 
})->middleware('auth', 'adminCheck');

dashboard.php :

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;

use App\Http\Requests;

class dashboard extends Controller
{
    public function index () 
    {
        return view('dashboard');
    }
}

When I enter http://localhost:8000/dashboard there is an error page displayed that says :

Sorry, the page you are looking for could not be found.   

I seem so dumb by not being able to fix it. Would you help me find out where my problem is? Thank you so much in advance.

Answer 1

Maybe it comes from your controller name. Laravel follows the PSR-4 standard for autoloading classes, see doc here, your class name should start by an uppercase :

\NamespaceName{\SubNamespaceNames*}\ClassName

Try to rename your dashboard.php into Dashboard.php, remake a php composer dumpautoload to see ? This route should work after that :

Route::get('dashboard', 'Dashboard@index')->middleware('auth', 'adminCheck');
