Hey everyone! I've noticed many developers (including myself) struggle with Laravel route files growing into unmanageable monsters as applications scale.
After refining my approach across multiple projects, I've compiled the 3 most effective methods for splitting routes into separate, organized files:
Method 1: Simple File Includes
Perfect for quick organization and works across all Laravel versions.
Method 2: RouteServiceProvider
The structured approach for larger applications (Laravel 10 and below).
Method 3: Bootstrap Configuration
The modern way for Laravel 11+ applications.
Each method includes:
✨ Complete code examples
✨ When to use each approach
✨ Real-world scenarios
✨ Best practices
I'd love to hear your thoughts and how you handle route organization in your projects!
