Laravel – how can I return view from another function

Route:

Route::controller(PublicController::class)->group(function () {
    Route::get('/index', 'index')->name('public.index');
});

View:

index.blade.php
wrong_browser.blade.php

In controller, this way is ok:

class PublicController extends Controller
{
    public function index(Request $request)
    {
        if(is_wrong_browser)
            return view(public.wrong_browser);
        
        return view('public.index');
    }
}

But how can I return view from another function, like this, without making a new route:

class PublicController extends Controller
{
    public function index(Request $request)
    {
        $this->CheckBrowser();
        
        return view('public.index');
    }
    
    public function CheckBrowser()
    {
        if(is_wrong_browser)
            return view(public.wrong_browser);
        }
}

    You can use the method redirect.

    return redirect()->route('index');

    You could use middleware which you either define globally, or on specific routes.

    class CheckUserActive
{
    public function handle($request, Closure $next)
    {
        // determine value of $is_wrong_browser
        $is_wrong_browser = true;

        if ($is_wrong_browser) {
                return redirect()->route('is-wrong-browser-route');
        }

        return $next($request);
    }
}

    It is bad practice to return a view from middleware instead redirect your user to another route.

    Alternatively, you could have a base Controller that your Controllers extend which has the checkBrowser function defined on it and the extending Controllers therefore have access to:

    class WrongBrowserController extends AppHttpControllersController
{
    public function checkBrowser()
    {
        // determine value of $is_wrong_browser
        $is_wrong_browser = true;

        if ($is_wrong_browser)
        {
            return view('wrong-browser-view');
        }
    }
}


class PublicController extends WrongBrowserController
{
    public function index(Request $request)
    {
        $this->checkBrowser();

        return view('index');
    }
}
