API No. 1:

Route::prefix('v1')->group(function () {
    Route::controller('handelProController')->group(function () {
        Route::post('products/all/list', 'getList');
    });
});

API No. 2:

Route::prefix('v2')->group(function () {
    Route::controller('anotherProController')->group(function () {
        Route::post('products/list', 'getList');
    });
});

and when i clean project and remove for example Restful API v1, i wanna redirect all request of No. 1 to No. 2, but when i use redirect URL or request like below the redirect method changed (POST -> GET) and is not OK for me:

 redirect()->to('products/list') /* redirect API No. 1 to API No. 2*/

and i try action() of redirect() like below but is not work too and have error "The GET method is not supported"

    When managing API versions and deprecating an old version while redirecting requests to a new one, it’s important to preserve the HTTP method (POST) during the redirection. However, the standard redirect() method in Laravel does not support retaining the original HTTP method.

    To address this, you can create a custom middleware to handle the redirection. This middleware will intercept requests to the old API, update the URL to the new API endpoint, and forward the request with the original HTTP method and payload intact.

    Here’s how you can achieve this:

    1. Create the Middleware:

    php artisan make:middleware RedirectOldApi

    2. Implement the Middleware:

    Open the generated middleware file (app/Http/Middleware/RedirectOldApi.php) and implement the handle method:

    namespace AppHttpMiddleware;

use Closure;
use IlluminateHttpRequest;

class RedirectOldApi
{
    /**
     * Handle an incoming request.
     *
     * @param  IlluminateHttpRequest  $request
     * @param  Closure  $next
     * @return mixed
     */
    public function handle(Request $request, Closure $next)
    {
        // Check if the request URI matches the old API pattern
        if ($request->is('v1/products/all/list')) {
            // Modify the request URI to point to the new API endpoint
            $request->server->set('REQUEST_URI', 'v2/products/list');
        }

        // Proceed with the request
        return $next($request);
    }
}

    3. Register the Middleware:

    Register the middleware in your app/Http/Kernel.php file. Add it to the $middleware array:

    protected $middleware = [
    // Other middleware
    AppHttpMiddlewareRedirectOldApi::class,
];

    4. Testing the Middleware:

    Now, when you send a POST request to v1/products/all/list, the middleware will intercept it, change the URI to v2/products/list, and forward the request, preserving the original HTTP method and payload.

    5. API Routes

    Route::prefix('v2')->group(function () {
    Route::controller(AnotherProController::class)->group(function () {
        Route::post('products/list', 'getList');
    });
});
