Laravel case insensitive routes

Question

How do I define a case insensitive (part of a) route?

Example:

• Route::get('/{userId}/profile');
• http://domain.com/123/profile works fine.

Any use of uppercase in the fixed part of the route does not work:

• http://domain.com/123/Profile does not work
• http://domain.com/123/proFILE does not work

I understand how I can make parameters like {parameter} use a regex pattern using ->with(), but that does not help me with the fixed part of the route, like described above.

This can be solved by defining routes the following way:

Route::get('/{userId}/{profile}')->with('profile', '(?i)profile(?-i)');

Even smarter, define it as pattern, then it also becomes available in Route groups.

Route::pattern('profile', '(?i)profile(?-i)');
Route::get('/{userId}/{profile}');
