title: How to set the default controller in Laravel?
body: <p>I'm using the Laravel PHP framework and am wondering about a few things. The default <code>application/routes.php</code> file contains this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Route::get('/', function()
  {
      return View::make('home.index');
  });
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This just outputs the view, but how do I call a controller from there?</p>
  
  <p>I can delete the entire route above and replace it with <code>Route::controller('home')</code> which seems to use the home controller on the default URL (i.e. <code>example.com/</code>). But any other controller like <code>Route::controller('article')</code> doesn't work, only on <code>example.com/article</code>. How would I set the article controller as the default?</p>
