I have my routes in multiple files and I am including them in the web.php file with the code below.
// routes/web.php
Route::name('resources')
->prefix('resources')
->group(base_path('routes/web/resources.php'));
One of my files contains all my redirects. I am trying to access the routes by their name to use on the redirect but I am getting an error saying the route name doesn't exist. Is this possible?
resources route file
// routes/web/resources.php
Route::get(
'/about',
[PageController::class, 'showAboutPage']
)->name('about');
redirect route file
// routes/web/redirects.php
Route::get('/test', function () {
return redirect(null, '301')->route('about');
});
Try doing Route::name('resources.') (suffix with dot). Then, you can use the route name prefixed with that group name. Example: route('resources.about')
Route::name('resources.') // <- Prefixes the route name e.g. resources.about
->prefix('resources') // <- Prefixes the route path URL e.g. /resources/about
->group(base_path('routes/web/resources.php'));
You can also run php artisan route:list command to see the list of routes, their controller and name.
@Niush Thanks that worked.
