What's the easiest way to generate a URL to a controller action (exampleController@index) with HTTPs active and set a title, so a HTML link like this would be generated in view:
<a href="https://www.example.com/sample">sample title</a>
I tried to use link_to_action() but seems like this helper function isn't avaible in view?
There is an action method from laravel
{{ action('ExampleController@index', $parameters) }}
This will only output https if the site runs on https. If you run this site locally it will probably not return https, but in production it will ;)
@bobbybouwmann Hmm link doesn't include a "title" and I can't "click" onto the link. I tried to use:
{{ url(action('DashboardController@settings')) }}
This will only return an url for you, but you can create your own helper function which add the title.
A quick tip, if you use the form builder package you get these methods out of the box
link_to_action('DashboardController@settings, 'Settings'));
This works fine. I now use:
{!! link_to_action('DashboardController@settings', 'Settings') !!}
I need to "unescape" the URL, otherwise blade will show the URL as text. Will the URL change to HTTPs in case of production automatic too (production system is HTTPs)?
Yeah, Laravel will detect this most of the time, so you don't need to worry about it at all ;)
And if your server is setup correctly it knows it needs to redirect to https anyway :D
