Custom Routes with Laravel 7

flomo · Post by **flomo** » 08 Apr 2020, 16:07

As of Laravel 7 it is no longer possible to have duplicate route names: https://laravel.com/docs/7.x/upgrade#unique-route-names

The Aimeos docs recommend to add a duplicate route to overwrite the default URLs: https://aimeos.org/docs/Laravel/Custom_routes

This fails in Laravel 7 when using

Code: Select all

php artisan optimize

What is the best practice to have custom routes with Laravel 7?

That does complicate things a bit.

You can disable the Aimeos routes for the area you want to overwrite a route for by configuration:
https://github.com/aimeos/aimeos-larave ... s.php#L181

Then, you have to add all the routes you've disabled yourself and change the one you want.

I did something similar in my web.php routes file:

Code: Select all

// Clear previous routes
$emptyRoutes = new \Illuminate\Routing\RouteCollection();
Route::setRoutes($emptyRoutes);

// Add modified content from Aimeos routes.php

Maybe it's best, if one could simply "php artisan vendor:publish --tag=aimeos_routes", to expose and modify Aimeos routes. Just not sure, if this poses maintainability issues (ie if you make changes to the routes.php file on minor version changes).
