Redirect to the same route but with different parameter values
Hi,
in the project that I'm working on I've got some pages with this kind of url, two of them are about and news:
localhost/{param1}/about
localhost/{param2}/about
localhost/{param1}/news
localhost/{param2}/news
Every page has its own route with its own controller.
Is it possibile to make a middleware that if the {paramX} has not a certain value (maybe inside of an array) it will redirect to the same original route BUT with the {paramX}} set to a different fixed value?
With that I can use a single generic function that works with all this kind of pages (and their respective routes/controllers).
I saw that it's possible to get Route::getCurrentRoute()->getActionName() but I don't kown how to use it with return redirect()->route or something similar.
Thank you in advance for your support.
[Edit] given a route extracted from a request, is it possible to do something like this inside the middleware?
public function handle(Request $request, Closure $next)
{
$route = $request->route();
if (!in_array($request->param1, ['aaa', 'bbb', 'ccc', true))
{
$route->parameters['param1'] = 'aaa';
return redirect()->$route;
}
return $next($request);
}
Bye

@jlrdw Thank you for the answer. Nope, only Ignition threw me an error but having already changed the code I can't paste it here anymore, sorry.

If you name your routes, something like this:
Route::get('{param}/about', YourAboutController::class)->name('about');
Route::get('{param}/news', YourNewsController::class)->name('news');
You can easily create a new route based on the route name and replacing the param variable in the route.
private array $whitelistParams = ['aaa', 'bbb'];
private string $defaultParam = 'aaa';
public function handle(Request $request, Closure $next)
{
if (!in_array($request->route('param'), $this->whitelistParams)) {
$newParams = array_merge(
request()->route()->parameters,
['param' => $this->defaultParam]
);
$redirectTo = route($request->route()->getName(), $newParams);
abort(redirect($redirectTo));
}
return $next($request);
}
Something like this should do the trick. If the param is not in the whitelist it redirects you to the the same route with the $this->defaultParam in it.
Note that laravel also knows 'missing()' in the routes: https://laravel-news.com/route-missing-method depending on your requirements this could be a more robust solution

@click Thank you for your answer, I will try it.
Also the missing() method is cool, I'll keep that in mind, thanks.

Then accept a single parameter and fork it in the single controller based on the passed parameter
