Question

What do console.php and channels.php in the routes folder of laravel5.4 do?

Answer 1

console.php is used to define Artisan commands in the form of closures, such as

Artisan::command('build {project}', function ($project) {
    $this->info("Building {$project}!");
});

The above command can be created directly in console.php, and the content in the file will be automatically loaded in the app/Console/Kernel.php file.

channels.php用于定义Laravel的Event Broadcasting Function authorization rules for channels, please see: Event Broadcasting
