# Routing

Estimated time: 7 minutes
Difficulty: Intermediate

Routing in LaraCoreKit combines global Laravel routes with module-specific routes.

Route Sources

1. routes/web.php - global routes
2. routes/api.php - global API routes
3. modules/*/src/routes/web.php - module web routes
4. modules/*/src/routes/api.php - module API routes

Module Route Loading

Module providers load their own routes:

$this->loadRoutesFrom(__DIR__.'/routes/web.php');

This keeps routes close to feature code.

Recommended Route Conventions

Public web routes

Route::get('/blog', [BlogController::class, 'index'])->name('blog.index');

Protected routes

Route::middleware(['auth'])->group(function () {
    Route::get('/dashboard', DashboardController::class)->name('dashboard');
});

API routes

Route::middleware('auth:sanctum')->group(function () {
    Route::get('/profile', [ProfileController::class, 'show']);
});

Route Naming

Use consistent names to avoid conflicts:

• blog.index
• blog.show
• user.profile.edit
• settings.general.update

Prefer module-prefixed route names.

Route Caching

Production:

php artisan route:cache

After route changes:

php artisan route:clear

Debugging Routes

List routes:

php artisan route:list

Filter by module/prefix:

php artisan route:list --name=blog
php artisan route:list --path=admin
