Single Action Controllers

If you want to create a controller with just one action, you can use __invoke() method and even create "invokable" controller.

Controller

   <?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use App\User;
use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
class ShowProfile extends Controller
{
/**
* Show the profile for the given user.
*
* @param int $id
* @return Response
*/
public function __invoke($id)
{
return view('user.profile', ['user' => User::findOrFail($id)]);
}
}

Routes:

Route::get('user/{id}', 'ShowProfile'); 

Artisan command to generate this controller:

 php artisan make:controller ShowProfile --invokable
