Laravel: Catch all routes that does not have /api/ segment

Question

I need to catch all routes, except those that have /api/ segment in them. I know how to catch every single route

Route::any('{all}', 'AngularController@serveFrontend')->where('all', '(.*)');

But what do I need to change so that my api routes aren't captured by this string ?

Answer 1

You can catch all routes where the path does not start with api

Route::any('{all}', 'AngularController@serveFrontend')->where('all', '^(?!api).*$');

Or simply leave your catchall as the last route and it'll work as expected.
