call a redirect method in laravel controller code example

Example 1: laravel return redirect to named route

return redirect()->route('login');

Example 2: previous url laravel

1. The cleanest way seems to be using the url() helper:
	{{ url()->previous() }}

2. URL::previous() works for me in my Laravel 5.1 project. Here is Laravel 5.1 
  doc for previous() method, which is accessible through URL Facade.

3. You can still try alternatives, in your views you can do:

	{{ redirect()->getUrlGenerator()->previous() }}
						OR
	{{ redirect()->back()->getTargetUrl() }}

Example 3: redirect to route laravel

Route::post('/user/profile', function () {
    // Update the user's profile...

    return redirect('/dashboard')->with('status', 'Profile updated!');
});
