I have a Slim 4 app running and set some recurring url param as a base path to not show this in url generation.
Request flows:
Call to http:demo.xyz?p1=a ---> rewrite to http://slim.app/url/demo.xyz?p1=a through a Varnish proxy
Call to http://slim.app/url/demo.xyz?p1=a directly
Both calls need to work.
Inside a middleware I set /url/demo.xyz as base path so the URLs generated are http://demo.xyz?p1=a.
The problems with this are:
The base path is not recognized by routes.php as something to pass params, so url/abc is not matched.
I still need to have the value of the url param to fetch some things inside the Slim app.
My routes need to match this structure to work with both request flows.
$app->group('/url/{url}', function (RouteCollectorProxy $group) {
$group->get('[/[/city/{city}]]', IndexAction::class)->setName('home');
//...
});
Any idea to get this to work?
This is connected to the question placed here.
In the middleware, you can use Request::getUri() method to get entire uri. Then, if matches with first url format "http:demo.xyz?p1=a" do:
return $response
->withHeader('Location', 'https://www.example.com')
->withStatus(302);
if matches to "http://slim.app/url/demo.xyz?p1=a" do needed stuff to proceed.

I've created routing based on Hostname but reached trouble with URL generation when using \Zend\View\Helper\Url.
When I run:
$this->url('main/faq')
helper creates URL without lang param in subdomain. Ok, I can use:
$this->url('main/faq', [], [], true)
and then lang param is attached to subdomain, but this call makes a lot of mess (as it keeps other parameters that needed no more).
Is there any solution to attach lang param to subdomain without setting $reuseMatchedParams? Or to use it without mess?
I am creating APIs for an app. Now app developer wants me to create a fixed base url and pass the ROUTE NAME (Which will point to controller function) as POST variable. Example:
http://example.com/Api
and POST variables like:
action=>'ROUTE_NAME'
But in laravel we can define the routes based upon the url parts as:
http://example.com/Api/ROUTE_NAME
I have tried using a single controller and loading the other controllers based upon SWITCH statements. But that doesn't seem to be a standard practice as i need to add switch condition every time I'll create a new API. Also middleware will not work on the loaded controllers dynamically.
Is there a way in laravel to achieve this? I am using laravel 5.4
You could implement a middleware that listens on the /Api route, which gets the ROUTE_NAME from the $request, then you could use the Route() helper function to find the url of that named route, then redirect the request to that route.
Something like:
// Generating ROUTE_NAME url...
$url = route($request->route_name);
// Redirect to that route...
return redirect()->route($url);
Obviously you'll need to add code to handle if it doesn't find a route etc, maybe return a json response back with a proper error code etc.
I have a user RESTful resource route in my Laravel App.
Route::resource('backbone.users', 'backbone\UserController');
for the the CRUD operations.
Unfortunately, I get following URIs:
I get {backbone} in the URI that results in %backbone% in the browser but
I want the URL like dev.domain/backbone/users NOT dev.domain/backbone/%backbone%/users
I would need to redirect like:
return Redirect::intended('backbone/{backbone}/users');
How come?
It's hard to tell by the screenshot (or maybe my eyes aren't great) but it looks like backbone/{backbone}/users. If this is the case, that's intended, the {} are indicating that it can take a variable in this position.
So it might be return Redirect::intended('background/1/users');
The controller method to go with it, in this case index of UserController will receive that variable as its argument.
This is normal for Laravel. The {} in your routes list represent url variables.
Take this route for example:
/users/{user}/edit
To use this route you would navigate to
/users/1/edit
Assuming you have your controller method setup similar to:
public function edit($userId)
{
}
The $userId variable would contain '1' from the url. Definitely checkout the docs for more on Laravel routing
I'm just new to Laravel but I immediately fell in love with it. As a not so super experienced php developer I do find the official documentation, although very expansive, somewhat complicated to use and find everything I need.
My question is about the Routing component. As the documentation states you can assign a route to a controller with the Route::controller method. So if I want a Blog controller for all /blog/ routes I assign it like this:
Route::controller('blog', 'BlogController');
So then if I'd like to acces all my blog posts I acces the the getIndex method by www.foo.com/blog or www.foo.com/blog/index
But let's say I'd like to be able to display categories via a getCategory method. My url would look like www.foo.com/blog/category and if, for example, I want to get the news category from the DB by slug, I'd like to use: www.foo.com/blog/category/news as the URI.
My question now is, how do I pass the slug to the url and access it in the getCategory method? Do I need specify it via Route::get('blog/category/{slug}', 'BlogController#getCategory') or is there a way to use Route::controller('blog', 'BlogController') and to send and acces parameters from the URL in the getCategory method?
I already tried to find it via google and in the official documentation, but I couldn't find a crystal clear answer to this problem...
You can simply add parameters to your getCategory method:
public function getCategory($category) {
die($category);
}
If you initialize it to null in the parameter list, it becomes optional. Alternatively, you can always pull parameters from the Input object but they would need to be passed in querystring format:
$category = Input::get('category');
With that said, I'd caution against using the Controller route. It's handy and mimics traditional MVC frameworks, but I believe it's planned to be deprecated -- and honestly, you miss out on some pretty flexible features.
using Route::controller('blog', 'BlogController'); allows you to define a single route to handle every action in a controller using REST naming conventions.then you have to add methods to your controller, prefixed with the HTTP verb they respond to. That means if you have a method called getIndex() it will be executed when there is a GET request to the url "yoursite.com/blog".
To handle POST requests to the same url add a method prefixed with post(ex: postComment()) and so on for other http verbs PUT, PATCH and DELETE.
I think you want something more customized, so you can use a resource controller:
Route::resource('blog', 'BlogController');
This will generate some RESTful routes around the blog resource, run php artisan routes in your project folder to see the generated routes, it should be something like this:
Verb Path Action Route Name
GET /blog index blog.index
GET /blog/create create blog.create
POST /blog store blog.store
GET /blog/{blog} show blog.show
GET /blog/{blog}/edit edit blog.edit
PUT/PATCH /blog/{blog} update blog.update
DELETE /blog/{blog} destroy blog.destroy
in the action column are the functions that you should have in the controller.
If you want to define more routes you can simply do it with Route::get or Route::post in the routes.php file
I hope this will make it more clear for you, enjoy routing with Laravel!!!
With CodeIgniter I'm trying to create a URL structure that uses a title string as the entire URI; so for example: www.example.com/this-is-a-title-string
I'm pretty confident I need to use the url_title() function in the URL Helper along with the routes.php config folder but I'm stuck bringing it all together.
Where do I define the URI and how is it caught by the routes folder?
Seems to be a straight forward problem but I'm getting stuck creating the URLs end-to-end. What am I missing?
I thought about a catch-all in the routes folder: $route['(.*)'] = "welcome/controller/$1"; ....but how would this work with multiple functions inside a particular controller? ...and maybe it's not even the right way to solve.
You can send all requests to a driver with something like this:
$route['(:any)'] = "welcome/function";
Then use the _remap function to route requests inside the controller.
However, using URL's as you suggest limits the CI functionality. Try something better like www.example.com/article/this-is-a-title-string
$route['article/(:any)'] = "articles/index";
and in article (controller), use _remap...
If you're going to re-route every request, you should extend CI_Router.
The actual implementation depends on what you're doing. If you customize CI_Router, you can do it AFTER the code that checks routes.php, so that you can keep routes.php available for future customization.
If the URI contains the controller, function, and parameters, you can parse it within your extended CI_Router and then continue with the request like normal.
If the URI is arbitrary, then you'll need something (file, db, etc) that maps the URI to the correct controller/function/parameters. Using blog posts as an example, you can search for the URI (aka post-slug in WordPress) in the db and grab the corresponding record. Then forward the request to something like "articles/view/ID".
