POST REDIRECTOR

This package provides a convenient way to perform POST redirects within your Laravel application. Unlike the standard redirector()->to() method, PostRedirector allows you to include additional data that gets submitted via a POST request before the redirection occurs.

Installation

To install the package, run the following command in your terminal:

    composer require oobook/post-redirector

Usage

Using the PostRedirector Class:

The package provides a PostRedirector class that offers a similar API to the standard Laravel redirect helper. However, it allows you to specify additional data to be submitted in a POST request before the redirection:

    Route::get('/old-url', function () {
        $data = [
            'name' => 'John Doe',
            'email' => 'john.doe@example.com',
        ];

        return redirect()
            ->toWithPayload('/new-post-url', $data)
    });

In this example, the route redirects the user to /new-url and submits the provided $data array via a POST request before the redirection.

Available Methods

• toWithPayload(string $url, array|object $data) : Sets url and the data to be submitted in the POST request

Benefits

• Flexibility: Send additional data along with your redirects for processing on the target URL.
• Maintainable Code: Avoid complex logic to manually create forms for redirection.
• Security: Hidden form submission helps prevent sensitive data from being exposed in the URL.
