How do I handle redirects after form submission in Laravel?

In Laravel, you can use the redirect() function to handle redirects after a form submission. Typically, you would do this in your controller method after processing the form data.

Can you show me an example of that?

Sure! After validating and saving the form data, you can return a redirect like this: return redirect()->route('home')->with('success', 'Form submitted successfully!'); This will redirect the user to the 'home' route.

What if I want to redirect back to the form with errors?

You can use return back()->withErrors($validator)->withInput(); to redirect back to the form with validation errors and the old input.

Thanks! Is there a way to flash data to the session?

Yes! You can use the with() method to flash data to the session, like this: return redirect()->route('home')->with('message', 'Your data has been saved!'); This will make the message available on the next request.
