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', '[^/]*');

Stay up to date with all things Laravel, PHP, and JavaScript.
