Force Route::group(['domain'=>'external.com']) to return https-prefixed routes
Hello everybody,
I created a new routes definition called external.php.
This is how it looks like:
Route::group([
'domain' => 'example.org'
], function () {
Route::post('oauth/token')->name('external.oauth.token');
This works fine, so php artisan route:list contains:
| example.org | POST | oauth/token | external.oauth.token | Closure | |
If I do route('external.oauth.token') I am getting this result:
"http://example.org/oauth/token"
So my question is: How can I force the route to be secure/with https-prefix?

This works fine, thanks :-)
One thing seems quite strange: If I use route in my controller, it automatically adds port 8000 to my request.
I guess this is the case, because I am running the php artisan serve which delivers at 8000. Is it possible to remove the port from Route::group?

well php artisan serve runs local server which must include the port. Why don't you use valet if you are on Mac or Homestead on other platforms?

My point is:
The route points to an external service. I wanted to create route names for external API endpoints. And the API-Server does not listen on https://...:8000 .

@ahoi I don't get it why do you want to generate routes for external API :)
you should use the services.php file for this, and read an url from your .env file for example:
in .env
API_URL=https://example.org/
in services.php
'api' => [
'domain' => env('API_URL'),
],
then use it config('services.api.domain').. why do you want to generate routes in your project for a code that you do not own?

Hi and thanks again :-)
I just read https://medium.com/@isakberglind/external-api-routes-in-laravel-31ad476d315c and I thought it would be a charming idea to get the route() helper to resolve to the external api's urls.
But nevertheless: Working with env should do the trick, too :-)
