We mostly need to redirect the route from the controller method in the laravel project. Laravel provides several ways to return redirect with route name in laravel.

<?php
  
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;
  
use App\Http\Controllers\UserController;
use App\Http\Controllers\HomeController;
  
/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Web Routes
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| Here is where you can register web routes for your application. These
| routes are loaded by the RouteServiceProvider within a group which
| contains the "web" middleware group. Now create something great!

*/
  
Route::get('users', [UserController::class, 'index']);
Route::get('home', [HomeController::class, 'index'])->name("home");

Example 1: using redirect() with route()

Controller File:

<?php
    
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
    
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Models\User;
    
class UserController extends Controller
{
    /**
     * Display a listing of the resource.
     *
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function index(Request $request, $page = 1)
    {
        $users = User::get();
  
        return redirect()->route("home");
    }
}

Example 2: using to_route()

Controller File:

<?php
    
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
    
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Models\User;
    
class UserController extends Controller
{
    /**
     * Display a listing of the resource.
     *
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function index(Request $request, $page = 1)
    {
        $users = User::get();
  
        return to_route("home");
    }
}

Example 3: using redirect()

Controller File:

<?php
    
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
    
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Models\User;
    
class UserController extends Controller
{
    /**
     * Display a listing of the resource.
     *
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function index(Request $request, $page = 1)
    {
        $users = User::get();
