Laravel 5.4: Exclude a route with parameters from CSRF verification

Question

As per Laravel 5.4 Docs, you can exclude a route from CSRF verification by adding the route to $except property at VerifyCsrfToken middleware. But for some reason, a route with parameters couldn't be excluded with exact route name unless excluded from main route itself.

Expected route to be excluded:

protected $except = [
    'main/{id}/sub/*'
];

Only works through:

protected $except = [
    'main/*'
];

How do you exclude a route with parameters from CSRF verification?

Answer 1

Since under the hood this feature uses request()->is() method, maybe this will work for you:

protected $except = [
    'main/*/sub/*'
];
