How to redirect users to another page with session messages while error occuring

I want to redirect users to admin page when any error occuring about the thujohn/twitter package. It throws Runtimeexception..

So I add couple code handler.php

public function render($request, Exception $exception)
{

    if ($exception instanceof \RuntimeException) {
        return redirect()->route('admin.panel')
            ->with('message', 'Please try again later..')
            ->with('message_type','warning');

    } else {
        return parent::render($request, $exception);
    }
}

But when I say that, it redirects user at all exceptions even at 404 errors or Trying to get property of non-object erros.. How can I fix this ? I want to redirect user for just relevant error

Or is there any way to do redirect user with condition like below.

if($exception->code == 436){
  // it says member has protected access. I can't use it code property outside of the exception class
      return redirect()->route('admin.panel')
            ->with('message', 'Specific error message')
            ->with('message_type','warning');

 }

Well, almost all exceptions extend the \RuntimeException class. Because of this most exceptions will be caught in your code.

Instead you need to wrap the code for twitter in a try catch and catch the exception there. If something went wrong you can simply throw a new exception and catch that exception instead.

try {
    // Do your twitter stuff here!
} catch (\RuntimeException $exception) {
    throw new TwitterFailedException();
}

In your handler you can do something like this

if ($exception instanceof \TwitterFailedException) {
    return redirect()->route('admin.panel')
        ->with('message', 'Please try again later..')
        ->with('message_type','warning');
}
