In your api.php file change this line

Route::resource('articles', 'ArticleController/show');

to this

Route::resource('articles', 'ArticleController');

and run

php artisan route:cache

command.

Thank you. I need to know flow if you can suggest some resource.

read this doc how laravel is working with Route::resource laravel.com/docs/5.4/controllers#resource-controllers

Parth Shah Over a year ago

so basically you need to place your code in index function not in show()
