Laravel handling one contact form for all pages

The typical way of handling the contact form is in the contact page and the route can be:

Route::get('/contact', 'AppHttpControllersPageController@contact')->name('contact');
Route::post('/contact', 'AppHttpControllersPageController@formContact')->name('form.contact');

The PageController using the formContact method will handle the validation of the form and can be submitted fine.

What happens if the contact form is included on all pages? Let’s say it’s included in the footer.
How can I handle that form?

This is the contact form:

<div class="form-contact">
  <div class="container">
    <div class="row">
      <h2>Contact form</h2>
      <div class="col-sm-8">
        <form action="" method="POST">
          @csrf
          <div class="row">
            <div class="col-sm-6">
              <div class="mb-4">
                <input type="text" name="first_name" placeholder="First name*" class="form-control" />
              </div>
            </div>
            <div class="col-sm-6">
              <div class="mb-4">
                <input type="text" name="last_name"  placeholder="Last name*" class="form-control" />
              </div>
            </div>
            <div class="col-sm-6">
              <div class="mb-4">
                <input type="text" name="phone"  placeholder="Phone*" class="form-control" />
              </div>
            </div>
            <div class="col-sm-6">
              <div class="mb-4">
                <input type="text" name="email"  placeholder="Email*" class="form-control" />
              </div>
            </div>
            <div class="col-sm-12">
              <div class="mb-4">
                <textarea rows="8" placeholder="Text*" class="form-control"></textarea>
              </div>
            </div>
            <div class="col-sm-12">
              <button type="submit" class="btn btn-purple">Submit</button>
            </div>
          </div>
        </form>
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

This is the footer:

<footer>
  @include('includes.form-contact')
</footer>

When the contact form is not only on one single page but all pages, which controller and method can I use?

    There's no need to figure out on which page should be using the route, as that form is already included. The only needed thing here is the second route that uses the post and formContact method.

    Route::post('/contact', 'AppHttpControllersPageController@formContact')->name('form.contact');

    No problem, just put the route form.contact in the form action, like below:

     <form action="{{route('form.contact')}}" method="POST">

    I think the confusion with you is with how the routes are working in laravel. In laravel routes are working by matching the request URI to a specific controller and action(method).

    So it doesn’t matter how and where you call the view for the form, contact form action always will match to the PageConroller formContact action.

    So you can use the contact form as a component or as a partial, you can just use it anywhere and it will always point to that exact method.
