Automatic Route Names for Laravel

Installation

To get the latest version of Laravel Route Names, simply require the project using Composer:

composer require dragon-code/laravel-route-names

Warning

For naming to work correctly, you need to replace the application class otherwise the code will be loaded too late.

To do this, replace Illuminate\Foundation\Application with DragonCode\LaravelRouteNames\Application in the bootstrap/app.php file.

You can now list the routes, for example by calling the php artisan route:list command or by using the dragon-code/pretty-routes package.

Using

This is all. Now you don't have to specify route names. Now the route names will be generated automatically based on the final URL of your project.

All previously specified route names in the application will be ignored.

Compatible with all package solutions for expanding the list of routes.

Since route names are generated at the time they are received, we recommend using route caching in production:

php artisan route:cache

// or

php artisan optimize

List of exclusions

By publishing a configuration file with the artisan command, you can explicitly specify a mask of route names that do not need to be translated:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="DragonCode\LaravelRouteNames\ServiceProvider"

Exceptions

app('router')
    ->get('pages', [IndexController::class, 'index'])
    ->name('my_pages');

return route('my_pages');
//  \Symfony\Component\Routing\Exception\RouteNotFoundException
//  Route [my_pages] not defined.

return route('pages.index');
// Returns the result of executing the `IndexController@index` method.

Result

app('router')
    ->name('pages.')
    ->prefix('pages')
    ->group(function () {
        app('router')->get('/', [Controller::class, 'index']);
        app('router')->post('/', [Controller::class, 'store']);
        app('router')->get('{page}', [Controller::class, 'show']);
        app('router')->delete('{page}', [Controller::class, 'destroy']);
    });

Before:

GET     /pages         pages.
POST    /pages         pages.
GET     /pages/{page}  pages.
DELETE  /pages/{page}  pages.
