Adding prefix to existing URLs in Laravel 5

Question

The Problem: I am implementing a localization feature in my web application, but the application is in mid-development, so to not rewrite all the links in <form action=""> and <a href=""> I need a solution that would just add a prefix tu URLs before all other routes like /en/ or /es/, but that Application would consider /localhost/en/ as localhost/.

To clearify link like <a href="/admin"> is working as advertised http://localhost/admin, I need it to work like http://localhost/en/admin

I dont know what pieces of code is any help, so I will add code on request.

route.php looks something like this

<?php

Route::get('/', 'HomeController@index');
Route::get('admin/blocks/{size}', "AdminController@getBlocks");
Route::get('admin/del-block/{id}', "AdminController@getDelBlock");


Route::controllers([
    'admin' => 'AdminController',
    'auth' => 'Auth\AuthController',
    'password' => 'Auth\PasswordController',
    'products' => 'ProductsController'
]);
Route::get('/{slug}', "HomeController@getPage");
Route::get('/{slug}/{subslug}', "HomeController@getPage");

and in views I generate URLs by hand

<a href="/admin/blocks{{$block->size}}">Link</a>
<form action="/products/new" > </form>

Here is a good example to add localization laracasts.com/discuss/channels/tips/… — Kamran

@KamranAdil did all that, that doesn't help, all routes are still broken — Subject

You have to provide more info. What have you tried? Show us your routes file and how you generate your URL's on your views. — Fabio Antunes

If you want http://localhost/admin and http://localhost/en/admin to be handled by same controllers then you need to write 2 sets of routes in routes.php.

This way there are 2 entry points to exactly same application logic.

First entry point for non-localized url: /admin. Second would take a parameter: {lang}/admin.
