Last-Modified / 304 Not Modified Handler for Laravel

Easily setting the Last-Modified header and 304 Not Modified response code.

Requirements

PHP 7.4 - 8.3
Laravel 8.x - 11.x

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require abordage/laravel-last-modified

Optionally, you can publish the config file with:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag="last-modified-config"

Usage

The setup is very simple and consists of two steps:

Registering middleware

// in app/Http/Kernel.php

protected $middleware = [
    'web' => [
        // other middleware
        
        \Abordage\LastModified\Middleware\LastModifiedHandling::class,
    ],
];

Set Last Update Date in your Controller

<?php
 
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
 
use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
use LastModified;
 
class PostController extends Controller
{
    public function show($id)
    {
        $post = \App\Models\Post::findOrFail($id);

        LastModified::set($post->updated_at);
        
        return view('posts.show', ['post' => $post]);
    }
}

It's all. Now you can check the headers.

How to check headers

You can check headers in the browser console under the Network tab (make sure Disable Cache is off)
