I'm working with Laravel (5.6) and React (16.4.1+react-router) on a project, and got into a problem maybe some of you having similar problem, so I wonder we could get some ideas. Recently I have found a solution for refreshing error (404) here: How to use React Router with Laravel? and one of the soulutions solved /app/{anything} problem, too.

Now my problem is with resource files (/css, /js) from /public folder. I tried to do a workaround with the same regex as /app =>

Route::get( '/{path?}', function() { return view( 'home' ); })->where('path', '^((?!app|api|css|js).)*$');

but it's still not working as expected. As I read, we must put this snippet after all routes we included in our app, because of Laravel's caching mechanism, but it's not working with neither /css, neither /js resource files in /public folder > but works with /api and /app routes, and anything I add before /{path?}.

Is there any solutions for this? What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for any help, LeFizzy.

I think I've found a solution for this, and I thought I must share this with others looking for this. First, it was by a mistake. In the home.blade.php view I linked my resource files incorrectly, like this: <link rel="stylesheet" href="http://mydomain.something/css/styles.css" /> and that's why it didn't find the route, and matched with /{path?/ - so it's actually rendered the home view rather than returning the resource file.

For this, Laravel offers a solution for this by looking for your assets in /public folder, just by linking your files simple like: <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="{{asset('css/styles.css')}}" /> and almost same solution for JS (local) assets: <script src="{{asset('js/app.js')}}" ></script>.

To mention, you should link external (from other networks) like I did with my Laravel app which didn't worked due to the problem I asked for.

Good luck with it. :)
