Routing

Default routes (prefix and middleware are configurable):

• GET /dev/docs → Top (dev.docs.viewer)
• GET /dev/docs/app → App docs list (dev.docs.app)
• GET /dev/docs/development → Development cards (dev.docs.development)
• GET /dev/docs/development/{group} → Development group list (dev.docs.development.group)
• GET /dev/docs/file → Single file view (dev.docs.viewer.file, ?path=...)

Configuration notes

• root_dir: Relative path to the docs root (default docs)
• app_docs_path: Path for the App docs category (appended to the root)
• development_groups: Array of labels/paths for Development groups
• route.prefix / route.name_prefix / route.middleware: Switch routing and middleware
• layout: Layout Blade. Defaults to the bundled simple layout; override to use your app layout.
• dashboard_url: Target for “Back to Dev Dashboard”. Set null to hide.
• timezone: Timezone used for date display. Falls back to config('app.timezone') when unset.
• locale / locales / locale_query_key: Set default locale and the URL query key (default lang). Switch languages with ?lang=en, etc.
