Hi,
You have to customize it. At the moment, Metronic does not have an example for it.
You could also split your admin routes into a separate file, and require that file in your app/routes.php file. With separate route for / and /admin.
Thanks
I tried to customize it, but when i change routes files and get back to initial code:
// Route::get('/', function () {
// return redirect('index');
// });
But when i try this, authentication and menu doesn't work anymore.
I don't know how to handle this:
$menu = theme()->getMenu();
array_walk($menu, function ($val) {
if (isset($val['path'])) {
$route = Route::get($val['path'], [PagesController::class, 'index']);
// Exclude documentation from auth middleware
if (!Str::contains($val['path'], 'documentation')) {
$route->middleware('auth');
}
// Custom page demo for 500 server error
if (Str::contains($val['path'], 'error-500')) {
Route::get($val['path'], function () {
abort(500, 'Something went wrong! Please try again later.');
});
}
}
});
I know how to do this with initial laravel files, but metronic was customized in another way.
Thanks !
The way i manage separation for frontend and backend routes is as follows:
create a helper:
if (! function_exists('includeFilesInFolder')) {
/**
* Loops through a folder and requires all PHP files
* Searches sub-directories as well.
*
* @param $folder
*/
function includeFilesInFolder($folder)
{
try {
$rdi = new RecursiveDirectoryIterator($folder);
$it = new RecursiveIteratorIterator($rdi); while ($it->valid()) {
if (! $it->isDot() && $it->isFile() && $it->isReadable() && $it->current()->getExtension() === 'php') {
require $it->key();
}
$it->next();
}
} catch (Exception $e) {
echo $e->getMessage();
}
}
}
if (! function_exists('includeRouteFiles')) {
/**
* @param $folder
*/
function includeRouteFiles($folder)
{
includeFilesInFolder($folder);
}
}
then on routes/web.php:
/*
* Frontend Routes
*/
Route::name('frontend.')->group(function () {
includeRouteFiles(__DIR__.'/frontend/');
});/*
* Backend Routes
*/
Route::prefix('admin')->name('admin.')->middleware('auth')->group(function () {
includeRouteFiles(__DIR__.'/backend/');
});
then under routes folder create the two folders (frontend and backend) and just create your route files in there, for example:
under routes/frontend create an auth.php file and add:
<?php Route::group(['middleware' => 'guest'], function () {
// Authentication
Route::get('login', [LoginController::class, 'showLoginForm'])->name('login');
Route::post('login', [LoginController::class, 'login'])->name('login.post');
});
then under routes/backend create an admin.php file and add for example:
<?phpRoute::redirect('/', '/admin/dashboard', 301)->name('redirect');
that way you have your routes separated by frontend and backend 
Thank you Carlos and appreciate your efforts. Hope this can help others as well
Thanks
Great.
I will try this
Thank you !
under routes/frontend create an auth.php file and add:
<?php Route::group(['middleware' => 'guest'], function () {
// Authentication
Route::get('login', [LoginController::class, 'showLoginForm'])->name('login');
Route::post('login', [LoginController::class, 'login'])->name('login.post');
});
then under routes/backend create an admin.php file and add for example:
<?phpRoute::redirect('/', '/admin/dashboard', 301)->name('redirect');
that way you have your routes separated by frontend and backend
I tried your version but for now not working. I will try to search for another method.
