Quickly Navigate from Routes file to Controller

This thing was optional before Laravel 8, and became a standard main syntax of routing in Laravel 8.

Instead of routing like this:

1Route::get('page', 'PageController@action');

You can specify the Controller as a class:

1Route::get('page', [\App\Http\Controllers\PageController::class, 'action']);

Then you will be able to click on PageController in PhpStorm, and navigate directly to Controller, instead of searching for it manually.

Or, to make it shorter, add this to top of Routes file:

1use App\Http\Controllers\PageController;
2 
3// Then:
4Route::get('page', [PageController::class, 'action']);
