Redirect to intended URL Lumen - php

Question

I'm building a little Lumen application with a simple API & Authentication.
I want to redirect the user to the intended URL and if he visits /auth/login by himself I want him to redirect to /foo.
In the Laravel Docs there is this function: return redirect()->intended('/foo');
When I use this in my route I get an error in the server log which says this:
[30-Apr-2015 08:39:47 UTC] PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined method Laravel\Lumen\Http\Redirector::intended() in ~/Sites/lumen-test/app/Http/routes.php on line 16
I think this is because Lumen is a smaller version of Laravel and maybe this function isn't implemented (yet).

Answer 1

I solved this problem by adjusting my Middleware a little bit as well as storing the Request::path() in the session.
This is how my Middleware looks:
class AuthMiddleware {
public function handle($request, Closure $next) {
if(Auth::check()){
return $next($request);
} else {
session(['path' => Request::path()]);
return redirect('/auth/login');
}
}
}
And in my routes.php I have this route (which I will outsource to a controller asap):
$app->post('/auth/login', function(Request $request) {
if (Auth::attempt($request->only('username', 'password'))){
if($path = session('path')){
return redirect($path);
} else {
return redirect('/messages');
}
} else {
return redirect()->back()->with("error", "Login failed!");
}
});
Thanks to IDIR FETT for suggesting the Request::path() method.
Hopefully this will help a few people that are new to
Lumen, which is a great framework by the way. :)

Indeed looking at the source code of Lumen it is not implemented:
https://github.com/laravel/lumen-framework/blob/5.0/src/Http/Redirector.php
Your options are:
Check Laravel's (Symfony's?) implementation and put it into your own code
Write completely your own implementation – one super simple way of doing it would be store the request URL in a session, redirect to the login page and when the user successfully logs in retrieve the URL from the session and redirect him

i think you have to specify a route name in the intended method, not a URI:
return redirect()->intended('foo');
assuming you have already named the route, i think this still works as well:
return Redirect::intended('/foo');
UPDATE:
try this:
retrieve the requested URI :
$uri = Request::path(); // Implemented in Lumen
then redirect to the requested URI :
return redirect($uri);
this could work !!
