htmlspecialchars() expects parameter 1 to be string, object given in my code

Question

I am facing this error when I tried to redirect my page from main dashboard to the view profile page. I'm using Laravel 5.8 and below is my code:

<div class="dropdown-menu dropdown-menu-right" aria-labelledby="navbarDropdownMenuLink">
  <a class="dropdown-item" href="{{Route::redirect('/admin.dashboard', '/view profile')}}">View profile</a>
  <a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Setting</a>
</div>

Can anyone tell me where I'm going wrong?

Your route makes no sense. What are you trying to do? Where do you want your href to go? Route::redirect() is not the correct thing to use there, should be url() or route(), but I'm not sure where you want to go. — Tim Lewis

Route::get('/view profile', function () { return view('view profile'); }); here is my route — usama qayyum

Route::get('/view profile', ...); is not valid... You can't have spaces in a URL. Route::get('/view-profile, ...);` is valid, in which case you'd use {{ url('/view-profile') }} — Tim Lewis

In your web.php file define a route like this:

Route::get('/view-profile', function () { return view('view profile'); });

and then in your link just use this:

<a class="dropdown-item" href="{{url('/view-profile')}}">View profile</a>

The above question does not require redirection at all. He is already on current dashboard and just need a href="/view-profile" to go to instead. Your code will not let him open dashboard at all.
