#routing

Skip the throwaway controller method for simple redirects. Route::redirect() and permanentRedirect() handle them in one line, in your routes file.

Laravel 13.17 ships first-class route metadata, a Postgres transaction pooler, the new dev:list command, and a ShouldNotRetry exception handler.

Route model binding does more than inject a model. Custom keys, scoped bindings, soft-delete handling, and enums all hide behind this everyday feature.
