Nested redirects for Laravel

• Overview
• Installation
• Usage

Overview

This package allows you to create simple or multiple nested redirects for your Laravel applications.

This package can be useful from an SEO perspective, when in your application, you have URLs that have the potential of being modified.

Example of the dynamic redirecting logic:

• Let's assume you have an URL called /original

• You create a redirect from /original to /modified

  Accessing /original will redirect to /modified

• You create another redirect from /modified to /modified-again

  Accessing /modified will redirect to /modified-again AND
  Accessoing /original will redirect to /modified-again

• You create another redirect from /modified-again to /modified-yet-again

  Accessing /modified-again will redirect to /modified-yet-again AND
  Accessing /modified will redirect to /modified-yet-again AND
  Accessing /original will redirect to /modified-yet-again

• You create another redirect from modified-yet-again to /original

  Accessing /modified-yet-again will redirect to /original AND
  Accessing /modified-again will redirect to /original AND
  Accessing /modified will redirect to /original

Installation

Install the package via Composer:

composer require neurony/laravel-redirects

Publish the config file with:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Neurony\Redirects\ServiceProvider" --tag="config"

Publish the migration file with:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Neurony\Redirects\ServiceProvider" --tag="migrations"

After the migration has been published you can create the redirects table by running:

php artisan migrate

Usage

Add the middleware

In order for the redirecting functionality to actually happen, you need to add the Neurony\Redirects\Middleware\RedirectRequests middleware.

Go to App\Http\Kernel and add the Neurony\Redirects\Middleware\RedirectRequests middleware in your $middlewareGroups groups of choice.

/**
 * The application's route middleware groups.
 *
 * @var array
 */
protected $middlewareGroups = [
    'web' => [
        ...
        \Neurony\Redirects\Middleware\RedirectRequests::class,

Creating redirects

You should never use the Neurony\Redirects\Models\Redirect directly, as this is the default concrete implementation for the Neurony\Redirects\Contracts\RedirectModelContract.

Using the Neurony\Redirects\Models\Redirect model class directly will prevent you from being able to extend the model's capabilities.

You can create redirects that will be stored inside the redirects table like this:

app('redirect.model')->create([
    'old_url' => '/your-old-url',
    'new_url' => '/your-new-url',
    'status' => 301
]);

To see how you can extend the Neurony\Redirects\Models\Redirect model's capabilities, please read the comments from /config/redirects.php -> redirect_model
