<?php use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route; use App\Http\Controllers\PDFController; /* |-------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Web Routes |-------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Here is where you can register web routes for your application. These | routes are loaded by the RouteServiceProvider within a group which | contains the "web" middleware group. Now create something great! | */ Route::get('send-email-pdf', [PDFController::class, 'index']); |
