Laravel 5 authentication on home page - authentication

Question

I have tried authentication before, but it has always been with views in my auth folder. I am now doing something different and cant seem to get it working. So I have this route which displays my homepage
Route::get('/', function () {
return view('index');
});
On my homepage, I have my register and login forms. I wont show everything, but my register form looks like the following
<form class="form-horizontal" role="form" method="POST" action="/">
<input type="hidden" name="_token" value="{{ csrf_token() }}">
<div class="form-group">
<div class="col-md-12">
<input type="text" class="form-control" name="first_name" value="{{ old('first_name') }}" placeholder="First Name">
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<div class="col-md-12">
<input type="text" class="form-control" name="last_name" value="{{ old('last_name') }}" placeholder="Last Name">
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<div class="col-md-12">
<input type="email" class="form-control" name="email" value="{{ old('email') }}" placeholder="Email">
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<div class="col-md-12">
<input type="password" class="form-control" name="password" placeholder="Password">
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<div class="col-md-12">
<input type="password" class="form-control" name="password_confirmation" placeholder="Confirm Password">
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<div class="col-md-12">
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary">
Register
</button>
</div>
</div>
</form>
I then tried adding my routes for the registration
Route::get('/register', 'Auth\AuthController#getRegister');
Route::post('/register', 'Auth\AuthController#postRegister');
Because this is using the built in authentication, looking at the Traits, things like getRegister return a view in the auth folder. So in my AuthController, I have added
public function getRegister()
{
return view('/');
}
However, if I try to register, I still get a MethodNotAllowedHttpException.
What would be the stages I need to go through in order to get registration and login onto my homepage?
Thanks

Answer 1

Be careful with the action of your form. You action is "/" but you registered the route Route::post('/register'....
So, your action for the form must be: action="/register"
It is going to make the request in the right rout.
Hope it helps.
