Laravel 5.1 SSL in Localhost

Question

I'm moving my working project to laravel. In order process i'm using SSL Certificate.

cart, orderAddress, orderPayment, orderResults are four steps of Order Process.

My first question is "What is best practice to disable ssl certificate in localhost ?"

If mine is good (in below) "How can i shorten this code ?" Because i'm repeating myself that's why i didn't like.

/**
 * Disable ssl in Localhost
 */
if (App::environment('local')) {
    Route::get('/cart', [
        'uses' => 'CartController@index',
        'as'   => 'cart',
    ]);
    Route::get('/orderAddress', [
        'uses' => 'AddressController@orderIndex',
        'as'   => 'orderAddress',
    ]);
    Route::get('/orderPayment', [
        'uses' => 'PaymentController@orderPayment',
        'as'   => 'orderPayment',
    ]);
    Route::get('/orderResult', [
        'uses' => 'OrderController@orderResult',
        'as'   => 'orderResult',
    ]);
} else {
/**
 * SSL PAGES
 */
Route::group(['before' => 'force.ssl'], function()
{
    Route::get('/cart', [
        'uses' => 'CartController@index',
        'as'   => 'cart',
    ]);
    Route::get('/orderAddress', [
        'uses' => 'AddressController@orderIndex',
        'as'   => 'orderAddress',
    ]);
    Route::get('/orderPayment', [
        'uses' => 'PaymentController@orderPayment',
        'as'   => 'orderPayment',
    ]);
    Route::get('/orderResult', [
        'uses' => 'OrderController@orderResult',
        'as'   => 'orderResult',
    ]);
});

Route::filter('force.ssl', function()
{
    if( ! Request::secure())
    {
        return Redirect::secure(Request::path());
    }

});

You can write a middle ware like:

namespace App\Http\Middleware;

use Closure;
use App;
use Redirect;

class UseSSL
{

    public function handle($request, Closure $next)
    {
        if( App::environment('local') ){
            return Redirect::secure($request->path());
        }

        return $next($request);
    }
}

Then register it in Kernel.php

protected $routeMiddleware = [
    ...
    'use.ssl' => UseSSL::class
];

Now you can say

Route::group(['middleware' => 'use.ssl'], function () {

    Route::get('/cart', [
        'uses' => 'CartController@index',
        'as'   => 'cart',
    ]);
    Route::get('/orderAddress', [
        'uses' => 'AddressController@orderIndex',
        'as'   => 'orderAddress',
    ]);
    Route::get('/orderPayment', [
        'uses' => 'PaymentController@orderPayment',
        'as'   => 'orderPayment',
    ]);
    Route::get('/orderResult', [
        'uses' => 'OrderController@orderResult',
        'as'   => 'orderResult',
    ]);
});

Let me know if it works! :)
