}
product({ request }) {
const product_id = request.input('product_id')
const product_name = request.input('product_name')
return product_id + ', ' + product_name
}
info({ params }) {
return `Product ID ${params.product_id}`
}
macbook({ response }) {
return response.route('product.info', { product_id: 1 })
//return response.route('TestController.info', { product_id: 1 })
}
}
