Force SSL routes in Lumen 5.6

Question

I need to force all routes with SSL in Lumen 5.6. For examples http://www.mywebsite.com to https://www.mywebsite.com

I tried many different solutions on the web, but nothing worked for me: Middelware, .htaccess, AppServiceProvider

Which the best way to force SSL scheme in Lumen 5.6?

You can create a middleware class and use the redirect()->to function with the secure parameter set to true.

To achieve this, create a class (HttpsProtocol.php) and place it in the middleware directory:

namespace App\Http\Middleware;

use Closure;

class HttpsProtocol{

    /**
     * @param \Illuminate\Http\Request $request
     * @param Closure $next
     *
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response|\Laravel\Lumen\Http\ResponseFactory|mixed
     */
    public function handle($request, Closure $next) {
        if (!$request->secure() && app()->environment() === 'production') {
            return redirect()->to($request->getRequestUri(), 302, [], true);
        }
        return $next($request);
    }

}

And add the middleware to your $app->middleware array found in app.php.

$app->middleware([
    App\Http\Middleware\HttpsProtocol::class
]);
