Laravel: Change base URL?

Question

When I use secure_url() or asset(), it links to my site\'s domain without \"www\", i.e. \"example.com\".

How can

Answer 1

First change your application URL in the file config/app.php (or the APP_URL value of your .env file):

'url' => 'http://www.example.com',

Then, make the URL generator use it. Add thoses lines of code to the file app/Providers/AppServiceProvider.php in the boot method:

\URL::forceRootUrl(\Config::get('app.url'));    
// And this if you wanna handle https URL scheme
// It's not usefull for http://www.example.com, it's just to make it more independant from the constant value
if (\Str::contains(\Config::get('app.url'), 'https://')) {
    \URL::forceScheme('https');
    //use \URL:forceSchema('https') if you use laravel < 5.4
}

That's all folks.
