Prerequisites

For this package you will need:

• an laravel 6.x or newer application
• a configured database
• an middleware named admin which controls the admin access

Installation

• run: composer require thyseus/laravel-database-redirector
• run: php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Spatie\MissingPageRedirector\MissingPageRedirectorServiceProvider"
• run: php artisan vendor:publish --tag=public --force

• run: php artisan migrate

• edit your config/missing-page-redirector.php and set 'redirector' to \Thyseus\DBRedirector\Redirectors\DBRedirector::class

• access http://localhost/admin/redirects to administrate the redirections of your application.

Hints

By default, only 404s will be redirected. If you want the laravel-missing-page-redirector to redirect every route configured, you will need to set the 'redirect_status_codes' config to an empty array.

Thanks a lot to the MVP css framework (https://github.com/andybrewer/mvp/) which is bundled with this package to make the backend at least a little bit appealing :)

Tests

In order to do automated tests of this package, you will need to use the codeception (https://codeception.com/) testing framework in your application. You can copy the provided functional test in tests/Functional/RedirectsCest.php in your Functional test suite or use it as a boilerplate to do your own tests.
