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

I would prefer forceScheme instead of doing it on a web server. So Laravel app should be responsible for it.

So right way is to add if statement inside boot function in your app/Providers/AppServiceProvider.php

    if (env('APP_ENV') === 'production') {
        \Illuminate\Support\Facades\URL::forceScheme('https');
    }

Tip: to prove that you have APP_ENV configured correctly. Go to your Linux server, type env

This was tested on Laravel 5, specifically 5.6.
