How to create a Route in Laravel to this scenario? - laravel

Question

The basic idea is to work like a sub-domain architecture, but the user account will come after website's name.
I have a web service that is called myService.com.
I will have users like Paul, Anne, Jhon.
I want Laravel to be able to create home pages for Paul, Anne and Jhon like this:
myService.com/Paul = > Should redirects to Paul home page
myService.com/Anne = > Should redirects to Anne home page
myService.com/Jhon = > Should redirects to Jhon home page
but myService.com has its own home page and others pages too. I do like this:
Route::get('/', function () {
return view('home');//myService.com HOME page
});
Route::group(['prefix'=>'videos'], function (){
Route::get('/', function () {
return "all videos";
});
Route::get('/{id}', function ($id) {
return "Video => $id";
});
});
Route::group(['prefix'=>'articles'], function (){
Route::get('/', function () {
return "all articles";
});
Route::get('/{id}', function ($id) {
return "Article => $id";
});
});
For the users I will have almost the same URL structure:
myService.com/Paul
myService.com/Paul/videos
myService.com/Paul/videos/id
myService.com/Paul/articles
myService.com/Paul/articles/id
myService.com/Paul2
myService.com/Paul2/videos
myService.com/Paul2/videos/id
myService.com/Paul2/articles
myService.com/Paul2/articles/id
Since I will have unlimited users account I dont know how to design the Route structure for this scenario.
Is It should be like this?
Route::group(['prefix'=>'account'], function (){
Route::get('/', function ($account) {
return "user $account home page";//Ex myService.com/Paul
});
Route::group(['prefix'=>'videos'], function (){
Route::get('/', function () {
return "user account - all videos";//Ex myService.com/Paul/videos
});
Route::get('/{id}', function ($id) {
return "user account video => $id";//Ex myService.com/Paul/videos/id
});
});
Route::group(['prefix'=>'articles'], function (){
Route::get('/', function () {
return "user account - all articles";//Ex myService.com/Paul/articles
});
Route::get('/{id}', function ($id) {
return "user account articles => $id";//Ex myService.com/Paul/articles/id
});
});
});
This is what I did so far, but I dont know if it is a good approach. It is correct?

Answer 1

Define that group at the end of your routes so the other routes will have precedence. Then you can use slug for username (or whatever you are using)
Route::group(['prefix' => '{username}'], function(){
Route::group(['prefix' => 'videos'], function(){
...
});
});
But this groupe is more likely to try and pick up all your 404. Maybe you can add extra constraint
Route::group(['prefix' => '{username}'], function(){
...
})->where('username', '[A-Za-z]+');
