Laravel Project Structure with Subdomains

Question

I have started a laravel project called webdev . I want this project to have subdomains, however, i do not know how to do so. I tried looking around and couldn't find an explanation on how to structure my project so I can use a subdomain.

Right now this is what I've done:

In /Applications/XAMPP/htdocs/project/ I created the main for webdev with laravel new webdev . This is where I want to have the main site. But now I want to have a subdomain for webdev which handles all the account processing. So how do I create the subdomain for this? Do I do laravel new accounts in /Applications/XAMPP/htdocs/project/ then how do I tell webdev that accounts is a subdomain?

Answer 1

Turn on subdomain wildcards and point them to your main app document root. Laravel routes handle wildcard sub-domains, and pass you wildcard parameters from the domain.

Route::group(array('domain' => '{account}.yourdomain.com'), function()
{

    Route::get('user/{id}', function($account, $id)
    {
        //
    });

});

Also see laravel docs for this.
