laravel route undefined url to particular controller

Question

In laravel 5.2 I want to route all the undefined url to one particular controller.

I am developing CMS like functionality, in which I want this thing.

Route::get('profile', 'Controller@profile');
Route::get('{any}', 'Controller@page');

so url like

www.domain.com/post/po-t/some/thing

www.domain.com/profile

so first url should redirect to page function and second url to profile function

Basically I want some idea for N-number or parameters, as in page it can be any number of parameters like "www.domain.com/post/po-t/some/thing"

What do you want to do exactly in Controller@page method? – Abhishek Oct 14 '16 at 03:48 — Abhishek, Oct 14 '16 at 03:48

The route

Route::get('{any}', 'Controller@page');

only work fo a url like

www.domain.com/post

if you want it with more options you have to make another route like

Route::get('{any}/{any1}', 'Controller@page');

This will work for two options like this callback

www.domain.com/post/asdfgd

I know that, but I want solution for www.domain.com/post/asdfgd as we don't know what can be number or parameters – Jay Oct 13 '16 at 14:10
maybe you should try optional parameters. As far as i know there isn't a solution for what you want. The optional parameters come close to solution. `Route::get('{a?}/{b?}/{c?}/{d?}/{e?}/{f?}', 'Controller@page');` – Zenel Rrushi Oct 14 '16 at 09:53

Undefined route generate 404 HTTP status. You can create a 404.blade.php page on resources/views/errors, put whatever views you want to display. Whenever a 404 error occurred it will redirect you to that page. You don't need to do anything else, laravel will take care of the rest behind the scene.

Use middleware.

In the handle method you have access to the $request object. When the route isn't found redirect to your fallback route. See this question for the options for fetching the current url

Edit: An implementation can be found in the Laracasts forum. The poster wants to guard admin routes:

public function handle($request, Closure $next)
{
    $routeName = Route::currentRouteName();

    // isAdminName would be a quick check. For example,
    // you can check if the string starts with 'admin.'
    if ($this->isAdminName($routeName))
    {
        // If so, he's already accessing an admin path,
        // Just send him on his merry way.
        return $next($request);
    }

    // Otherwise, get the admin route name based on the current route name.
    $adminRouteName = 'admin.' . $routeName;

    // If that route exists, redirect him there.
    if (Route::has($adminRouteName))
    {
        return redirect()->route($adminRouteName);
    }

    // Otherwise, redirect him to the admin home page.
    return redirect('/admin');
}
