How to force Laravel Project to use HTTPS for all routes?

Question

I am working on a project that requires a secure connection.

I can set the route, uri, asset to use \'https\' via:

Route::get(\'order/details/{id}\',         


        

Answer 1

Here are several ways. Choose most convenient.

1. Configure your web server to redirect all non-secure requests to https. Example of a nginx config:

   server {
       listen 80 default_server;
       listen [::]:80 default_server;
       server_name example.com www.example.com;
       return 301 https://example.com$request_uri;
   }
   

2. Set your environment variable APP_URL using https:

   APP_URL=https://example.com
   

3. Use helper secure_url() (Laravel5.6)

4. Add following string to AppServiceProvider::boot() method (for version 5.4+):

   \Illuminate\Support\Facades\URL::forceScheme('https');
   

Update:

5. Implicitly setting scheme for route group (Laravel5.6):

   Route::group(['scheme' => 'https'], function () {
       // Route::get(...)->name(...);
   });
