Laravel redirects

This package provides an easy way to create and manage redirects in your Laravel application.

Installation

Install the package via Composer:

composer require aw-studio/laravel-redirects

Publish the packages migrations and config:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="AwStudio\Redirects\RedirectsServiceProvider"

Run the migration

php artisan migrate

Add AwStudio\Redirects\Middleware\RedirectRoutesMiddleware to /app/Http/Kernel.php:

class Kernel extends HttpKernel
{
    protected $middleware = [
        ...
        \AwStudio\Redirects\Middleware\RedirectRoutesMiddleware::class,
    ],
}

Usage

Using database redirects

The provided Redirect model stores the following attributes:

from_url
to_url
http_status_code (default 301)
active (default true)

With this you may create redirects like this:

app('redirect.model')->create([
    'from_url' => '/old',
    'to_url' => '/new',
    'http_status_code' => 301
]);

Using config redirects

If you need to configure some (static) redirects you may do so in the config/redirects.php.

'redirects' => [
    '/{any}' => '/en/{any}',
],

By default every redirect from the configuration file is handled as a 301. You may however overwrite it like this:

'redirects' => [
    '/old' => ['/temporary-new', 302],
],

Using URL parameters

Both, config and database redirects, support Laravel route parameters:

'redirects' => [
    '/blog/{post}' => '/news/{post}',
]

//

app('redirect.model')->create([
    'from_url' => 'blog/{post}',
    'to_url' => 'news/{post}',
]);
