Forked from aaronlord/laroute for security and updated laravel versions

Laravel has some pretty sweet helper functions for generating urls/links and its auto-json-magic makes it building APIs super easy. It's my go-to choice for building single-page js apps, but routing can quickly become a bit of a pain.

Wouldn't it be amazing if we could access our Laravel routes from JavaScript?

This package allows us to port our routes over to JavaScript, and gives us a bunch of very familiar helper functions to use.

Installation

Install with the usual composer way.

composer require dogado/laroute

Configure (optional)

Copy the packages config files.

php artisan vendor:publish --provider='Dogado\Laroute\LarouteServiceProvider'

Generate the laroute.js

To access the routes, we need to "port" them over to a JavaScript file:

php artisan laroute:generate

With the default configuration, this will create a public/js/laroute.js file to include in your page, or build.

<script src="/js/laroute.js"></script>

Note: You'll have to laroute:generate if you change your routes.

JavaScript Documentation

By default, all of the functions are under the laroute namespace. This documentation will stick with this convention.

route

Generate a URL for a given named route.

/**
 * laroute.route(name, [parameters = {}])
 *
 * name       : The name of the route to route to.
 * parameters : Optional. key:value object literal of route parameters.
 */
 
 laroute.route('Hello.{planet}', { planet : 'world' });

url

Generate a fully qualified URL to the given path.

/**
 * laroute.url(name, [parameters = []])
 *
 * name       : The name of the route to route to.
 * parameters : Optional. value array of route parameters.
 */
 
 laroute.url('foo/bar', ['aaa', 'bbb']); // -> /foo/bar/aaa/bbb

link_to

Generate a html link to the given url.

/**
 * laroute.link_to(url, [title = url, attributes = {}]])
 *
 * url        : A relative url.
 * title      : Optional. The anchor text to display
 * attributes : Optional. key:value object literal of additional html attributes.
 */
 
 laroute.link_to('foo/bar', 'Foo Bar', { style : "color:#bada55;" });

link_to_route

Generate a html link to the given route.

/**
 * laroute.link_to_route(name, [title = url, parameters = {}], attributes = {}]]])
 *
 * name       : The name of the route to route to.
 * title      : Optional. The anchor text to display
 * parameters : Optional. key:value object literal of route parameters.
 * attributes : Optional. key:value object literal of additional html attributes.
 */
 
 laroute.link_to_route('home', 'Home');

PHP Documentation

Ignore/Filter Routes

By default, all routes are available to laroute after a php artisan laroute:generate. However, it is sometimes desirable to have laroute ignore certain routes. You can do this by passing a laroute route option.

Route::get('/ignore-me', [
    'laroute' => false,
    'as'      => 'ignoreme',
    'uses'    => 'IgnoreController@me'
]);

Route::group(['laroute' => false], function () {
    Route::get('/groups-are-super-useful', 'GroupsController@index');
});
