README

This composer package is a simple UI for saving page redirects to your database.

Installation

Begin by pulling in the package through Composer.

composer require malcolmknott/redirector

If using Laravel 5, include the service provider within your config/app.php file.

'providers' => [
    Malcolmknott\Redirector\RedirectorServiceProvider::class,
];

If you have a new project, scaffold the basic login and registration views to pull in Boostrap. Or publish the view files to use your own layout.

php artisan make:auth

Run the migration for the redirects table.

php artisan migrate

Pull in the Spatie Laravel Missing Page Redirector package, follow the install and setup instructions.

Update the "laravel-missing-page-redirector.php" config file with the database redirector class.

'redirector' => \Malcolmknott\Redirector\DatabaseRedirector::class,

Add a route that points to the Redirector Controller, you'll probably want to add some middleware to restrict who can edit your redirects.

Route::resource('redirects', '\Malcolmknott\Redirector\RedirectController');

Publish the view files to change the format and add your own style.

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Malcolmknott\Redirector\RedirectorServiceProvider" --tag="views"
