Adding Subdomains to RouteServiceProvider

[deft locust]

Hello!

I'm trying to keep my routes files as clean as possible, so I'm trying to register different route files in RouteServiceProvider.php.

Basically, I'm separating them by subdomains, and then I'll slim down from there by requiring other route files.

Currently, here's what I have:

public function boot()
    {
        $this->configureRateLimiting();

        $this->routes(function () {

       Route::domain('admin.example.test')
                ->namespace($this->namespace)
                ->name('admin')
                ->as('admin.')
                ->middleware(['auth','can:access_admin', 'password.confirm'])
                ->group(base_path('routes/admin.php'));

        Route::middleware('web')
                ->namespace('App\Http\Controllers')
                ->group(base_path('routes/web.php'));
        });

Now when I run that, everything works as normal. Even when I run php artisan route:list, it shows that the routes are all there. Except when I go to the index page for the admin subdomain (admin.example.test), it redirects back to the dashboard on the primary domain (example.com/dashboard).

Is it not possible to add subdomains this way or am I doing something wrong?

Could also put all the subdomain routes in a different php file and register it

Yeah that's what I'm trying to accomplish. It's registering the routes correctly, but when I visit any subdomain, it redirects back to /dashboard

This actually gave me another idea on how to do this. Unfortunately, it’s storming really bad here and I don’t want to turn my computer on so I’ll have to do it later.

My idea is rather than declaring everything in the RouteServiceProvider, I can just make a routes file called subdomains.php and then list the subdomains in there. I’ll try that when this storm passes and let you know if it works.

That’s what I meant 😂

Update! This worked just fine!

In RouteServiceProvider.php

Route::middleware('web')
  ->namespace($this->namespace)
  ->group(base_path('routes/subdomains.php'));

Then in routes/subdomains.php

$tld = config('fortify.domain');

Route::domain('admin.' . $tld)->name('admin')->as('admin.')->middleware(['auth', 'can:access_admin', 'password_confirm'])->group(function () {
  require(base_path('routes/subdomains/admin.php'));
});

Then in routes/subdomains/admin.php

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;
use App\Http\Controllers\UsersController;
use App\Http\Controllers\RoleController;
use App\Http\Controllers\AbilityController;
use App\Http\Controllers\AdminController;

// Main admin index
Route::controller(AdminController::class)->group(function() {
    Route::get('/', 'index')->name('index');
});

// User Controller
Route::resource('users', UsersController::class, ['middleware' => ['can:view_users']]);

// Roles Controller
Route::resource('roles', RoleController::class, ['middleware' => ['can:view_roles']]);

// Abilities Controller
Route::resource('abilities', AbilityController::class, ['middleware' => ['can:view_abilities']]);

Another thanks to @proper cairn for the help!
