Laravel Advanced Route

An advanced route for Laravel 5.3, 5.4 and 5.5 to support controllers

Background

In Laravel 5.3 the advanced functionality Route::controller was removed. This class fixes this shortcoming.

Installation

a) via composer

b) manually

Add the following to your composer file:

   "repositories": [
        {
            "type": "vcs",
            "url": "https://github.com/lesichkovm/laravel-advanced-route.git"
        }
    ],
    "require": {
        "lesichkovm/laravel-advanced-route": "dev-master"
    },

Usage

Add the following line to where you want your controller to be mapped:

AdvancedRoute::controller('/{YOUR PATH}', '{YOUR CONTROLLER FULL NAME}');

Full Example:

Route::group(['prefix' => '/', 'middleware' => []], function () {
    AdvancedRoute::controller('/auth', 'AuthController');
    AdvancedRoute::controller('/cms', 'CmsController');
    AdvancedRoute::controller('/shop', 'ShopController');
    Route::any('/', 'WebsiteController@anyIndex');
});

Multiple controllers mapping:

AdvancedRoute::controllers([
    '/auth' => 'AuthController',
    '/cms' => 'CmsController',
    '/shop' => 'ShopController',
]);

Missing method:

If you have a controller with a few predefined routes, you can add the missingMethod() to handle all undefined sub-paths for that controller's path.

class WikiController extends Controller
{
    public function getIndex() { /* show main page or list of content */ }
    public function getCreate() { /* a page to add a new wiki-page */ }
    public function postCreate() { /* add a new wiki-page */ }
    public function missingMethod() { /* do anything elselook up the path in the wiki-database */ }
}
