I am using Laravel 5 and need to do a wildcard route, sending the user to different controllers based on the URL type, pulled in from the database.
I need to check the URL slug in the database, and then load the relevant controller/method based on the slug type, held in the database. I am struggling with the final part, which is sending the user to the relevant controller. Below is my route:
Route::any('{slug}', function($slug){
$url = \App\Url_slug::where('url_slug', $slug)->first();
if($url->count()){
switch($url->url_type){
case 'product':
// SEND USER TO PRODUCT CONTROLLER
break;
case 'category':
// SEND USER TO CATEGORY CONTROLLER
break;
case 'page':
// SEND USER TO PAGE CONTROLLER
break;
}
} else {
abort(404);
}
});
What do I need to replace the comments with in order the send the user to the relevant controller?
