/*

|
| Here is where you can register web routes for your application. These
| routes are loaded by the RouteServiceProvider within a group which

     */
    public function index(Request $request)
    {
        Browsershot::url('https://www.mywebtuts.com/')
            ->setOption('landscape', true)
            ->windowSize(3840, 2160)
            ->waitUntilNetworkIdle()
            ->save('mywebtuts.jpg');
