How do I make a Catch-All Route in Laravel
Laravel now has a built-in method for this:
https://laravel.com/docs/master/routing#fallback-routes
- In app/Http/routes.php I create a route that will catch all traffic within domain.com/premium-section/anywhere/they/try/to/go and attempt to find and execute a matching function within PremiumSectionController
But there aren't any matching methods, just a catch-all.
Route::group(['as' => 'premium-section::', 'prefix' => 'premium-section', 'middleware' => ['web']], function(){ Route::any('', 'PremiumSectionController@premiumContentIndex'); Route::controller('/', 'PremiumSectionController'); });
.
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use ...
class PremiumSectionController extends Controller{
public function premiumContentIndex(){
return 'no extra parameters';
}
//magically gets called by laravel
public function missingMethod($parameters = array()){
return $parameters;
}
}
You could also catch 'all' by using a regex on the parameter.
Route::group(['prefix' => 'premium-section'], function () {
// other routes
...
Route::get('{any}', function ($any) {
...
})->where('any', '.*');
});
Also can catch the whole group if no routes are defined with an optional param.
Route::get('{any?}', function ($any = null) {
...
})->where('any', '.*');
This last one would catch example.com/premium-section
as well.
This does the trick:
Route::any('/{any}', 'MyController@myMethod')->where('any', '.*');
