How to handle Routes in Laravel for Domain Driven Design

To handle routes for this DDD structure in Laravel, you can create separate route files for each domain and then include them in the main routes/web.php or routes/api.php files. This will keep your routes in Laravel organised and maintainable. Here's how you can do it:

Create a routes folder within each domain folder:

app/
|-- Domain/
    |-- Product/
        |-- routes/
            |-- web.php
            |-- api.php
    |-- User/
        |-- routes/
            |-- web.php
            |-- api.php

Add your domain-specific routes to the corresponding route files. For example:

app/Domain/Product/routes/web.php

<?php
use App\Domain\Product\Controllers\ProductController;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;
Route::prefix('products')->group(function () {
    Route::get('/', [ProductController::class, 'index'])->name('products.index');
    Route::get('/create', [ProductController::class, 'create'])->name('products.create');
    // Add other product routes here
});

app/Domain/User/routes/web.php

<?php
use App\Domain\User\Controllers\UserController;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;
Route::prefix('users')->group(function () {
    Route::get('/', [UserController::class, 'index'])->name('users.index');
    Route::get('/create', [UserController::class, 'create'])->name('users.create');
    // Add other user routes here
});

Include the domain-specific route files in the main routes/web.php or routes/api.php files or you can register in RouteServiceProvider:

routes/web.php

<?php
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;
Route::middleware(['web'])
    ->group(function () {
        require base_path('app/Domain/Product/routes/web.php');
        require base_path('app/Domain/User/routes/web.php');
        // Include other domain route files here
    });

This way, you have separate route files for each domain, making it easier to manage and maintain your application's routing.
