I am trying to redirect a user after checking for a condition in a middleware, I have tried to use
return redirect('/admin/paddle-subscription');
But it does not work, it just redirects the page and shows it right in the browser url but show a 404 error in the screen, it looks that as nova uses vue.js it is creating some kind of errors.
I have been reading some post in laracast https://laracasts.com/discuss/channels/nova/nova-resource-route-redirect and it is clearer to me that it requires a special way to redirect.
I have tried
return redirect()->action('\Laravel\Nova\Http\Controllers\RouterController@show', ['resource' => '/admin/paddle-subscription']);
And it does not work, how I am supposed to redirect properly?
Thanks
Mmh, good question indeed. It seems that Nova fetches all the tools in a request and then renders them. I don't think you can redirect to a certain tool itself.
What you can do is create a custom dashboard and put the tool on that page. Then you should be able to redirect to the dashboard page because that has a separated URL and renders differently ;)

Thanks for the reply @bobbybouwmann , could you elaborate a little bit more?, I could create a dashboard and place a link to the custom tool, how do you image it?
@lmatab Correct, but Laravel Nova is not built for this, to be honest
@bobbybouwmann then if it is too complex to keep the user inside nova for this maybe I could just create a page outside nova to ask the user for the subscription and then in the tool he/she could see the status and upgrade.
@lmatab That sounds like a good alternative ;)
Thanks for the feedback @bobbybouwmann I appreciate it.
