Laravel’s routing system (as of version 12) is powerful and flexible, allowing you to map URLs to specific actions in an expressive manner. Here's a complete breakdown:
Basic Routing
web.php (routes\web.php)
Defines how the application responds to HTTP verbs like GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, PATCH, OPTIONS.
Route::get('/', function () {
return view('welcome');
});
welcome.blade.php (resources\views\welcome.blade.php)
<!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en"> <head> <title>Laravel</title> </head> <body> </body> <h1>Welcome to Laravel</h1> <p>This is a simple welcome page.</p> </body> </html>
Route Files
routes/web.php: For web routes with stateful features like sessions and CSRF protections (useswebmiddleware group).routes/api.php: For stateless API endpoints, prefixed with/apiand comes with rate limiting andapimiddleware.
Redirect & View Routes
Redirect Routes: Quickly redirect one route to another.
Route::redirect('/here', '/there');
View Routes: Serve a Blade view without a controller method.
Route::view('/welcome', 'welcome');
(or)
Route::get('/welcome', function () {
return view('welcome');
});
Route Parameters
Capture dynamic values from the URL:
Required Parameter:
Route::get('/users/{id}', function ($id) {
return "User ID: " . $id;
});
Output:
Optional Parameter:
Route::get('/users/{name?}', function ($name = null) {
return "User name: " . ($name ?? 'no name');
});
| Output with name | Output without name |
|---|---|
|
|
Constraints with Regex:
Route::get('/users/{id}', function ($id) {
return "User ID: " . $id;
})->where('id', '[0-9]+');
| Output with id(0-9) | Output with id(a) |
|---|---|
|
|
Named Routes
Gives routes a name for easier referencing elsewhere:
Route::get('/users/{id}', function ($id) {
return "User ID: " . $id;
})->name('user.profile');
Can access
<a href="{{ route('user.profile', 5) }}">
John Deo
</a>
Route Groups
Group your routes for common properties like prefixes:
Route::prefix('admin')->name('admin.')->group(function () {
Route::get('/dashboard', function(){
return view('dashboard')
})->name('dashboard');
});
Can access:
http://my-app.test/admin/dashboard
(Or)
<a href="http://my-app.test/admin/dashboard">
Dashboard
</a>
(Or)
<a href="{{ route('admin.dashboard') }}">
Dashboard
</a>
Fallback Routes
Catch-all route for unmatched URIs:
Route::fallback(function () {
return view('errors.404');
});
Rate Limiting
Define custom rate limiters and attach them to routes:
use Illuminate\Cache\RateLimiting\Limit;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\RateLimiter;
RateLimiter::for('uploads', function ($request) {
return Limit::perMinute(10);
});
Route::post('/upload', ...)->middleware('throttle:uploads');
List All Routes
To view all registered routes:
php artisan route:list
Add --columns for filtering:
php artisan route:list --method=GET // Filter by method: php artisan route:list --name=dashboard // Filter by route name: php artisan route:list --path=api/user // Filter by URI path: php artisan route:list --sort=uri // Sort routes by URI: php artisan route:list --reverse // reverse route list
