Laravel how to add group prefix parameter to route function - php

Question

For example, I have defined routes like this:
$locale = Request::segment(1);
Route::group(array('prefix' => $locale), function()
{
Route::get('/about', ['as' => 'about', 'uses' => 'aboutController#index']);
}
I want to generate links for several locales (en, de, es,...). When I try to provide prefix parameter like this
$link = route('about',['prefix' => 'de']);
I got link like this example.com/en/about?prefix=de
How to provide prefix param to got link like this example.com/de/about

Answer 1

You can play around with something like this perhaps.
Route::group(['prefix' => '{locale}'], function () {
Route::get('about', ['as' => 'about', 'uses' => '....']);
});
route('about', 'en'); // http://yoursite/en/about
route('about', 'de'); // http://yoursite/de/about

Answer 2

You can do like this :
Route::group(['prefix'=>'de'],function(){
Route::get('/about', [
'as' => 'about',
'uses' => 'aboutController#index'
]);
});
Now route('about') will give link like this : example.com/de/about

Answer 3

Try this:
$locale = Request::segment(1);
Route::group(array('prefix' => $locale), function()
{
Route::get('/about', ['as' => 'about', 'uses' => 'aboutController#index']);
}
And while providing a link, you can use url helper function instead of route:
$link = url('de/about');
If you want more generic, use this in controller/view:
$link = url($locale.'/about');
where $locale could be en,de,etc

Answer 4

You can simply achieve it like as
Route::group(['prefix' => 'de'], function () {
Route::get('about', ['as' => 'de.about', 'uses' => 'aboutController#index']);
});
And you can use it like as
$link = route('de.about');
