How can I disable laravel routes for ReactJs

Question

I've issue with routes in my application on Laravel as i am using ReactJs routes inside laravel resource directory. Using laravel 5.3 and latest React Js.

resources/assets/js/src/Route.js

const routes = (
    <Route path='/' component={DefaultPageLayout}>
        <IndexRoute component={App} />
        <Route path="register" component={MasterPageLayout}>
            <IndexRoute component={Register} />
        </Route>
    </Route>
)

export default routes;

routes/web.php

Route::get('/', function () {
    return view('welcome');
});

When I'm trying redirect to Register Page, It returns below error

NotFoundHttpException in RouteCollection.php line 161:

How can I resolve routes issue in Laravel? I want to have routes from react and not Laravel. What changes should i make so that from the beginning the Laravel routes handover each request to React routes

Answer 1

You just need to add below code to

// change your existing app route to this:
// we are basically just giving it an optional parameter of "anything"
Route::get('/{path?}', function($path = null){
        return View::make('app');
    })->where('path', '.*'); 
//regex to match anything (dots, slashes, letters, numbers, etc)

Your routes will be work fine any front-end JavaScript framework inside laravel.
