2 In your routes/web.php file, define a route that calls the static method:

Create a static method in a class. For example, create a class Example with a static method hello():

class Example {
    public static function hello() {
        return 'Hello from Example class!';
    }
}

In your routes/web.php file, define a route that calls the static method:

Route::get('example', function () {
    return Example::hello();
});

Now, when you visit http://your-app.test/example in your browser, you will see the message “Hello from Example class!” displayed.

Note: Replace your-app.test with the actual URL of your Laravel application.
