Route Usage Package for Laravel
Published on by Paul Redmond
Route Usage for Laravel is a package by Julien Bourdeau that logs route usage for your Laravel apps. Logging routes with this package is an excellent way of figuring out which routes are not in use:
After a few years, any projects have dead code and unused endpoints. Typically, you removed a link on your frontend, nothing ever links to that old /special-page. You want to remove it, but you’re not sure. Have a look at the route_usage table and figure out when this page was accessed for the last time.
Once you install this package, you can see route usage by visiting /route-usage
in your application. Please note that this page is publicly accessible at the time of writing, and it logs 2xx and 3xx-level responses.
The package also comes with a usage:route
console command which provides the following console output:
Please note that this package is in the early stages of development, and is a perfect time to provide feedback to help shape the first stable release.
