Laravel redirect helper
Syntactic sugar for those occasions when you want to redirect from an old route to a new route.
This package adds a Route::redirect() helper method so you don't have to create a closure for each redirect.
Installation
Begin by installing the package through Composer.
$ composer require brayniverse/laravel-redirect-helper
Then add the following to your providers array in config/app.php.
Brayniverse\LaravelRedirectHelper\ServiceProvider::class
Usage
Normally you'd have to create a closure to redirect to the new route.
Route::get('/contact_us', function () {
return redirect('/contact');
});
Now you can do the same in one line.
Route::redirect('/contact_us', '/contact');
Setting status code
Optionally, you can pass a third argument to Route::redirect() which will set the status code when redirecting. If you do not specify a status code, the package will use 301 as the status code.
Route::redirect('/contact_us', '/contact', 302);
