Named route is used to give specific name to a route. The name can be assigned using the “as” array key.

            Route::get('user/profile', ['as' => 'profile', function () {
             //
            }]);

Note − Here, we have given the name profile to a route user/profile.

Redirecting to Named Routes

Example

Observe the following example to understand more about Redirecting to named routes −

Step 1 − Create a view called test.php and save it at resources/views/test.php.

           <html>
              <body>
                   <h1>Example of Redirecting to Named Routes</h1>
              </body>
           </html>

Step 2 − In routes.php, we have set up the route for test.php file. We have renamed it to testing. We have also set up another route redirect which will redirect the request to the named route testing.

app/Http/routes.php

          Route::get('/test', ['as'=>'testing',function() {
               return view('test2');
           }]);

          Route::get('redirect',function() {
               return redirect()->route('testing');
           });

Step 3 − Visit the following URL to test the named route example.
