Laravel case insensitive routes

Question

How do I define a case insensitive (part of a) route?

Example:

• Route::get(\'/{userId}/profile\');
• http://domain.com/123/profi

Answer 1

For those using Apache you could also do this:

At this the top of your vhost file add

RewriteEngine On
RewriteMap lowercase int:tolower 

and in your .htaccess

RewriteCond $1 [A-Z]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /${lowercase:$1} [R=301,L]

Answer 2

This can be solved by defining routes the following way:

Route::get('/{userId}/{profile}')->with('profile', '(?i)profile(?-i)');

Even smarter, define it as pattern, then it also becomes available in Route groups.

Route::pattern('profile', '(?i)profile(?-i)');
Route::get('/{userId}/{profile}');

Answer 3

Adding patterns only works on one route at a time, if you want all routes to be case insensitive add this to your /app/filter.php file in the before section:

I wrote a gist which does this: https://gist.github.com/samthomson/f670f9735d200773e543

Edit your app/filters.php to check for uppercase characters in the route and redirect them to a converted route.
