Laravel - Point all route requests to single view or function

Question

I have a master view and want all my GET routes return the same every time. E.g

Route::get('/user', function() {
  view('layout');
});
Route::get('/user/add', function() {
  view('layout');
});

How to write a single route function so that returns layout view every time? It means in any case or any number of parameters passed, it should always return layout view.

Answer 1

You can use variables in your route definition. This will hit on all routes.

Route::get('/{route?}', function() {
  view('layout');
});

A better approach in my opinion is to look how CMS structures do it. And do it with sections of the URL and you can handle it for more customization.

Route::get('/{model?}/{action?}', function($model, $action) {
    if ($model === 'user') {
        return view('user', compact('action'));
    } 

    return view('default');
});
