分别加载后端和前端路由，互不干扰

Question

I have two kind of routes, admin routes and frontend routes.

The frontend routes

Route::get('{locale?}/', ['uses' => '\App\Http\Controllers\loadViewController@home']);
Route::get('{locale?}/{page}', ['uses' => '\App\Http\Controllers\loadViewController@index']);
Route::get('{locale?}/{template?}/{page}', ['uses' => '\App\Http\Controllers\loadViewController@detail']);

The backend routes

Route::prefix('admin/dashboard')->group(function () {
  Route::get('/', 'DashboardController@index')->name('dashboard'); 
});

Now when i type admin/dashboard or api/admin, laravel uses the frontend routes to load the views, while i want the backend views to be loaded.

So to filter out the backend routes i tried this

Route::group(['where' => ['page' => '^(?!admin|api)$', 'template' => '^(?!admin|api)$']], function ({
  Route::get('{locale?}/', ['uses' => '\App\Http\Controllers\loadViewController@home']);
  Route::get('{locale?}/{page}', ['uses' => '\App\Http\Controllers\loadViewController@index']);
  Route::get('{locale?}/{template?}/{page}', ['uses' => '\App\Http\Controllers\loadViewController@detail']); 
});

which obviously did not work

Also the frontend routes should not have something like /website , they should all start with /

My question is: How can i load the backend and frontend routes separately without interfering when called, even if they have the same url length in terms of parameters, keep in mind that the admin routes always start with /admin or /api.

Note: i can't put the backend routes before the frontend routes

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

If you want to you could put a constraint on the locale route parameter:

Route::pattern('locale', '^(?!(api|admin)$)(\w*)');

You can put this in the boot method of you RouteServiceProvider and it will now not allow the locale route parameter to match for 'api' or 'admin' .

Answer 2

You can register seperate routes in RouteServiceProvider. Following is how you can do it.

Inside RouteServiceProvider.php do:

public function map()
{
    $this->mapFrontendRoutes();

    $this->mapAdminRoutes();
}

Definition of mapFrontendRoutes():

protected function mapFrontendRoutes()
{
     Route::prefix('{locales?}')
         ->middleware('frontend')
         ->namespace($this->namespace.'\Frontend')
         ->group(base_path('routes/frontend.php'));
}

Definition of mapAdminRoutes():

protected function mapAdminRoutes()
{
     Route::prefix('admin')
         ->middleware('admin')
         ->namespace($this->namespace.'\Admin')
         ->group(base_path('routes/admin.php'));
}

I personally find this very useful, helps to declare interference free and logical routes. Open to feedback.

Answer 3

The simple way is to group both url's as separate groups. Example as follows:

Route::group(['prefix' => 'admin', 'as' => 'admin'], function () {
Route::post('/dashboard', 'AdminController@dashboard');

});

Route::group(['prefix' => 'home', 'as' => 'home'], function () {
Route::get('/record/{id}', 'HomeController@getRecord');

});
