Splitting web app and front-end

Most of my projects simply have their 'static' pages inside the DB.

Instead of installing a full blown CMS, simply add a Page model, add the needed migration, (title / slug / content / meta keywords / meta description, etc)

Create a route at the bottom (!! or it will become a catch all route) of your routes file like:

Route::get('/{page}', function($page) {
    $page = Page::where('slug', $page)->firstOrFail();
    return view('page', compact('page'));
});

And ofcourse, create the page view that will output the content.

Make a CRUD to edit them for the admins and you're done.

I like how I've been building nothing but models, and not considered doing this. I'll be curious to see how localization works (for now I've added a locale column) in this setup.

Thanks.
