Redirect to a URL

1. Sometimes you want to redirect to another URL instead of return view()

                  return redirect('/companies/create');
                  

Redirect to previous page

2 Sometimes you may wish to redirect the user to their previous location

                  return back()
                  

Redirecting To Controller Actions

                  use App\Http\Controllers\HomeController;

                  ......
                  .......

                  return redirect()->action([HomeController::class, 'index']);
                  

Redirect with parameters

                  return redirect()->action(
                      [UserController::class, 'profile'], ['id' => 1]
                  );
                  

Redirecting With Flashed Session Data

                  return redirect('/dashboard')->with('status', 'Profile updated!');
                  

Get the redirected data in the view

                  @if (session('status'))
                      <div class="alert alert-success">
                      {{ session('status') }}
                      </div>
                  @endif
