Access controllers in sub directory - codeigniter

My controllers are at controllers/frontend directory I access them trough http://localhost/controller_name.
In a routes.php i have that record $route['([a-z_]+)'] = "frontend/$1" and everything works.
But how to change route rule if I want to access http://localhost/controller_name/method/param;

Your rule is sending everything to /frontend/$1 which is a silly idea.
If you have to do that, do this:
$route['(some_controller|other_controller)'] = '$1';
$route['(some_controller|other_controller)/(:any)'] = '$1/$2';
By doing it this way you are essentially destroying CodeIginter automatic routing, as you send EVERYTHING BUT certain controllers to the frontend. To learn how to build a Admin backend properly, try this article:

Modify the URL generated with Route::apiResource without changing the name

I'm building a website where users can post ads : a VueJS app that requests routes on an Laravel API.
I have an AdController, with an Ad model, and my routing is done via stuff like :
Route::apiResource('ads', AdController::class)->only(['update', 'destroy']);
Route::apiResource('ads.photos', AdPhotoController::class)->only(['index']);
which generates routes like PUT "/ads/{ad}" or GET "/ads/{id}/photos"....
This works very well, and my VueJS app uses Ziggy to call the API by their route name
axios.get(route('ads.photos.index', id))
And... It still works flawlessly ! No problem at all, and I have a LOT of routes with a LOT of API calls.
Now my problem : we realised that URLs containing "ads" are blocked by adblockers. That completely shuts down all access to our website, and asking users to turn off the adblocker is NOT a solution.
I could change my routes to do something like
Route::apiResource('posts.photos', AdPhotoController::class)->only(['index']);
but I have a LOT of routes and I really don't want to rename everything, everywhere.
Is there an option to change apiResources generated URL, so 'ads.photos.index' would generate "/posts/{id}/photos" instead of "/ads/{id}/photos" ?

Redirection issue in Codeigniter4

I have done admin controller and put that in a sub folder named 'Admin'
Controller
Admin
-login.php
Now I want to fetch that by router file where I wrote this
$routes->get('admin', 'Admin/Login::index');
But it is showing me "Not found" error and redirects to "http://localhost/admin".
Could there be some .htaccess issue?
replace this
$routes->get('admin', 'Admin/Login::index');
with
$routes->get('admin', 'Admin\Login::index');
also make sure you add namespace in your login.php
namespace App\Controllers\Admin;
If you keep CI4's directory structure intact you could in fact use sub-folders for Controllers, Models, Views, etc.
For example app/Controllers/Admin/Login.php is a valid place to put a Controller class. Make sure to add the appropriate namespace in Login.php - namespace App\Controllers\Admin; Also in routes - $routes->get('admin', 'App\Controllers\Admin\Login::index'); It is quite possible to work without the prefix of App\Controllers, but I never extensively tested it and I think there was a problem in some versions of CI4 before.
Another issue could be your app/Config/App.php class. If you did not change anything in your .htaccess file (the one in public directory!), $baseURL should be set to your public directory address - http://localhost/myproject/public/ . Or if you wish to make it easier - set up virtual hosts.
Just a thing to add - get() method in $routes allow only GET requests, meaning if you are trying to POST something (or use any other HTTP request method) it will fail and redirect.

Where to check if an User is logged in in a Laravel Application?

I've been using your advice and View::sharing all of my important data to all views. However, there is one issue I have encountered.
This code:
if(!Auth::guest()){
$user=Auth::user()->id;
}
else $user=0;
$temp=DB::select('query');
View::share('cartnumber', count($temp));
View::share('cartitems', $temp);
doesn't work when put in AppServiceProvider. Or better, it always sets $user=0, even if I am logged in. I thought it is because AppServiceProvider's boot function executes before the site checks if someone is logged in.
I then tried to use a BaseController with a construct function but that doesn't work either. The only solution that seems to work correctly is putting the code in every single Controller for every view! That actually works, which kind of confirms my theory.
But is there anywhere I can put this code without having to copy/paste it in every single Controller? Thanks in advance!
You'd likely want to put this code later in the request life cycle to guarantee an auth user because as others have mentioned middleware/session code has not occured during this part of the framework booting up. You could use a service class to call in all your controllers to avoid the copy pasting. Or If you'd like to achieve this using code in your service provider you could use a View Composer instead of a share this allows you to define a callback/or class that will be called right before the view is returned
view()->composer(['/uri-that-needs-data'], function ($view) {
if (Auth::check()) {
$cart = DB::query(...)->get();
$view->with('cartitems', $cart);
}
});
Check out https://laravel.com/docs/5.7/views#view-composers for more details.
Auth::user() will be empty until the session middleware has run.
The reason you can't access the user inside your service provider is because that code is run during the "bootstrapping" phase of the application lifecycle, when it's doing things like loading filesystem or cache drivers, long before the request is sent through response handlers (including middleware).
Once the application has been bootstrapped and all service providers
have been registered, the Request will be handed off to the router
for dispatching. The router will dispatch the request to a route or
controller, as well as run any route specific middleware.
Source: https://laravel.com/docs/5.7/lifecycle
If you don't want to copy/paste that code everywhere, then one place to put it is in custom route middleware. You can list it after the auth middleware to guarantee a logged-in user.
Edit: View composers are another really good option, as suggested by #surgiie. The reason these can be set up inside a service provider (unlike your example) is because the view composer registers a callback, but doesn't execute it until a much later stage in the application lifecycle.

Laravel - Domain API?

I'm trying to figure something out. I want to make a page where a user can check for domain names and if they're available or not. I'm asking for advice because I don't know where to look. TransIP does have an API but I can't understand their documentation. What can I do? I want to make this work in laravel
There are many API wrappers you can grab from github, here is one I found on a google search. https://github.com/verschoof/transip-api
Just install with composer, put your login and private key in your .env perhaps and then include it in whatever file you want.
$client = new Transip\Client(env('TRANSIP_LOGIN'), env('TRANSIP_KEY'), true);
$domainApi = $client->api('domain');
$domainInfo = $domainApi->getInfo('user-input-domain.com');
$status = $domainApi->checkAvailability();
I would put env variables into a config file and access with config('key') but this is a basic example.

Laravel Route Is not working because of Generic route

I am new to Laravel and learning just basic stuff. I am trying to create a new Route to create a user into database. So I created a Route like this -
Route::get('users/"create"', 'PagesController#create');
But I also have one Route for users trying to access their profile-
Route::get('users/{username}', 'PagesController#show');
Now when I try to access users/create it redirect me to show method instead of create method in controller. I am guessing this is because of generic nature of users/{username}. So my question is how to deal with such situation.
The order that you define routes is important. If you define your routes like this - in this order, it will work.
Route::get('users/create', 'PagesController#create');
Route::get('users/{username}', 'PagesController#show');
Note - I noticed you used 'users/"create"' - that is an error - it should be 'users/create' like in my example.
p.s. make sure you dont allow a user with the username called 'create' - or they will never be able to get to their profile page.
