Redirect every request in a Laravel app

Original – by Freek Van der Herten – 1 minute read

I recently had to redirect every single request in a Laravel app. You might think that would be as easy as this:

Route::get('/', function() {
   return redirect('https://targetdomain.com');
});

But that'll only redirect the "/" page. All other requests will return a 404. Here's how redirect every single request:

Route::get('{any}', function() {
   return redirect('https://targetdomain.com');
})->where('any', '.*');

If you need to redirect all pages except "/", you can do this:

Route::get('{anyExceptRoot}', function() {
   return redirect('https://targetdomain.com');
})->where('anyExceptRoot', '[^/]*');

On all these platforms, regularly share programming tips, and what I myself have learned in ongoing projects.

Every month I send out a newsletter containing lots of interesting stuff for the modern PHP developer.

Expect quick tips & tricks, interesting tutorials, opinions and packages. Because I work with Laravel every day there is an emphasis on that framework.

Rest assured that I will only use your email address to send you the newsletter and will not use it for any other purposes.
