Laravel landing page routing

Question

I have two different routes in my web.php

Route::get('/', 'Web\DashboardController@index');

Route::get('/my-page/{alias}', 'Web\MyPageController@index');

I want to make the second page as my landing page without changing URLs. Like when visitor come to website it land to http://www.url.com/my-page/{alias}

Answer 1

There is multiple ways to achieve this, of which two common ones are:

Route::get('/', function () {
    $alias = ...; // find an alias
    return redirect()->route('mypage', ['alias' => $alias]);
});

Route::get('/my-page/{alias}', 'Web\MyPageController@index')->name('mypage');

or

Route::redirect('/', '/my-page/fixed-alias', 301);

Route::get('/my-page/{alias}', 'Web\MyPageController@index');
