Strict Domain Checking for Laravel is a lightweight package designed to seamlessly integrate with Laravel applications, providing a simple solution for domain-based redirection. With this package, you can ensure that incoming traffic to your Laravel application is redirected to a specified domain if the requesting domain doesn't match the configured domain. By implementing a customizable middleware, developers can easily enforce domain consistency, enhancing security and user experience. Whether managing multiple domains or enforcing branding standards, this package offers a flexible and efficient solution for domain redirection within Laravel applications.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

You can install the package via composer:

```
composer require byteflick/laravel-strict-domain
```

You can publish the config file with (Optional):

```
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="ByteFlick\LaravelStrictDomain\LaravelStrictDomainServiceProvider"
```

This is the contents of the published config file:

```
return [
    'include_sub_domains' => true,
    'domain' => env('APP_DOMAIN', 'localhost.com'),
];
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

### Step 1: Configure the Environment

[](#step-1-configure-the-environment)

You need to add an environment variable called `APP_DOMAIN` to your `.env` file. The value of this variable is used for validating the incoming traffic.

```
APP_DOMAIN=localhost.com
```

### Step 2: Apply the Middleware

[](#step-2-apply-the-middleware)

#### 2.1 Redirecting External Traffic

[](#21-redirecting-external-traffic)

If you want to redirect incoming traffic to your application from other domain/hosts to your own then you can use `RedirectExternalTraffic` middleware. This is useful when you want to redirect all the traffic from `johndoe.com` ( referrer domain) and other domains/hosts to `janedoe.com` (your designated domain).

##### On Specific Routes Only

[](#on-specific-routes-only)

You can add the middleware to individual routes or apply it via a route group.

##### Globally For Laravel 11

[](#globally-for-laravel-11)

Append the middleware to your default middlewares into your `bootstrap/app.php` via the code below to redirect all external traffic outside your designated host to your designated host.

```
->withMiddleware(function (Middleware $middleware) {
     $middleware->append(\ByteFlick\LaravelStrictDomain\Middlewares\RedirectExternalTraffic::class);
})
```

##### Globally For Laravel 10

[](#globally-for-laravel-10)

Add the middleware to your default middlewares into your `App\Http\Kernel.php` via the code below to redirect all external traffic outside your designated host to your designated host.

```
protected $middleware = [
    \ByteFlick\LaravelStrictDomain\Middlewares\RedirectExternalTraffic::class,
];
```

#### 2.2 Blocking External Traffic

[](#22-blocking-external-traffic)

If you want to block incoming traffic to your application from other domain/hosts to your own then you can use `BlockExternalTraffic` middleware. This is useful when you want to allow traffic from `janedoe.com` but block `johndoe.com` and others to your application.

##### On Specific Routes Only

[](#on-specific-routes-only-1)

You can add the middleware to individual routes or apply it via a route group.

##### Globally For Laravel 11

[](#globally-for-laravel-11-1)

Append the middleware to your default middlewares into your `bootstrap/app.php` via the code below to block all external traffic outside your designated host.

```
->withMiddleware(function (Middleware $middleware) {
     $middleware->append(\ByteFlick\LaravelStrictDomain\Middlewares\BlockExternalTraffic::class);
})
```

##### Globally For Laravel 10

[](#globally-for-laravel-10-1)

Add the middleware to your default middlewares into your `App\Http\Kernel.php` via the code below to block all external traffic outside your designated host.

```
protected $middleware = [
    \ByteFlick\LaravelStrictDomain\Middlewares\BlockExternalTraffic::class,
];
```
