Custom error page not showing on Laravel 5

Question

I am trying to display a custom error page instead of the default Laravel 5 message :

\"Whoops...looks like something went wrong\"

Answer 1

The typical way to do this is to just create individual views for each error type.

I wanted a dynamic custom error page (so all errors hit the same blade template).

In Handler.php I used:

public function render($request, Exception $e)
{
    // Get error status code.
    $statusCode = method_exists($e, 'getStatusCode') ? $e->getStatusCode() : 400;
    $data = ['customvar'=>'myval'];
    return response()->view('errors.index', $data, $statusCode);
}

Then I don't have to create 20 error pages for every possible http error status code.
