Question

I want to run a filter that check if application is installed or not, before running any route except installation related routes, cause it would cause an infinite redirect loop.

here is what I was supposed to do:

Route::filter('before', function()
{
    if (!User::isInstalled()) {
        return Redirect::to_route('install'); // infinite redirect loop
    }
});

Is there any way to add exception to this filter? or any way to check that currently witch route is running?
any idea?
thanks

Answer 1

I found this method from laravel api, Laravel\Routing\Route that could be a solution

Route::filter('before', function()
{
    if ( ! Application::isInstalled() && ! URI::is('install*') ) {
        return Redirect::to_route('install');
    }
});

but I think they should be better way to force some routes to not use before filter.
