404 Error Handling in Laravel 5.2.15 - php

Question

I am asking this question because I did not get reply after adding my comment in this question
laravel routing and 404 error
In the above answer, we can see below code to be used in filters.php
App::missing(function($exception)
{
return Response::view('errors.missing', array(), 404);
});
But, I think we don't have filters.php in latest version. Can somebody suggest better way to handle 404 error?

Answer 1

You don't need to do that anymore. Don't include that. What you do is put a view file (your 404 error view) called 404.blade.php in your resources/views/errors folder and Laravel will handle 404 errors for you.

take a look

I just change this line App/Exceptions/Handler.php file.
public function render($request, Exception $e)
{
// the below code is for Whoops support. Since Whoops can open some security holes we want to only have it
// enabled in the debug environment. We also don't want Whoops to handle 404 and Validation related exceptions.
if (config('app.debug') && !($e instanceof ValidationException) && !($e instanceof HttpResponseException))
{
/******************here I changed**********************/
# return $this->renderExceptionWithWhoops($e);
return response()->view('errors.404', [], 404);
}
// this line allows you to redirect to a route or even back to the current page if there is a CSRF Token Mismatch
if($e instanceof TokenMismatchException){
return redirect()->route('index');
}
// let's add some support if a Model is not found
// for example, if you were to run a query for User #10000 and that user didn't exist we can return a 404 error
if ($e instanceof ModelNotFoundException) {
return response()->view('errors.404', [], 404);
}
// Let's return a default error page instead of the ugly Laravel error page when we have fatal exceptions
if($e instanceof \Symfony\Component\Debug\Exception\FatalErrorException) {
return \Response::view('errors.500',array(),500);
}
// finally we are back to the original default error handling provided by Laravel
if($this->isHttpException($e))
{
switch ($e->getStatusCode()) {
// not found
case 404:
return \Response::view('errors.404',array(),404);
break;
// internal error
case 500:
return \Response::view('errors.500',array(),500);
break;
default:
return $this->renderHttpException($e);
break;
}
}
else
{
return parent::render($request, $e);
}
/******************here I changed**********************/
#return parent::render($request, $e);
}
if (config('app.debug') && !($e instanceof ValidationException) && !($e instanceof HttpResponseException))
{
