Question

I want to add custom method on redirect() helper such as it:

Do it posibble?

Answer 1

You can macro a custom method on the Redirector class if you would like. In a Service Provider's boot method you can define your macro:

use Illuminate\Routing\Redirector;

public function boot()
{
    Redirector::macro('custom', function ($your, $arguments, $here) {
        ...
    });
}

Then you could access it the way you would like:

redirect()->custom(...);

The Redirector has been macroable since version 5.5.
