Laravel can I add two update method on a resource controller

Question

I'm new to laravel and I would like to add another Update method from the created resource controller UsersController. something like this:

  public function update(Request $request, $id)
{
    "logic here"
}
  public function update2(Request $request, $id)
{
    "logic here"
}

but i do not know how to access "update2". is there a way to do this?

You would only need add another route to your routes/web.php file. For example:

Route::post('/users/{user}/update2', 'UsersController@update2');

As you've mentioned it being a resource controller, you may have already added something similar to:

Route::resource('users', 'UsersController');

This will create the corresponding index, show, store, update, and destroy routes.
