如何在使用控制器时为路由添加名称而不是在Laravel4中路由到的功能？

Question

I guess, the one line question doesn't explain what I'm looking for well enough. So, here's an example of what I'm talking about: (based on the Laravel4 Routing documentation)

The way I create a route for the controller:

Route::get('user/profile', "UserController@profile" );

The way I create a name for the route so that I can later refer to it when generating URLs:

Route::get('user/profile', array('as' => 'profile', function()
{
    //
}));

// Now I can use this
$url = URL::route('profile');

Now, obviously you wouldn't want to write your controllers as functions right in the routes.php, so how do I create a name like in the 2nd example, but using the controller like the example 1?

You can name your route to controller exactly the same way. Put controller and method name as second item in array under "uses" keyword:

Route::get('user/profile', array("as" => "profile", "uses" => "UserController@profile"));
