multiple route file instead of one main route file in laravel 5

1. create 2 route files routes.web.php and routes.api.php.

2. edit the RouteServiceProvider.php file to look like the example below:

<?phpnamespace App\Providers;use Illuminate\Foundation\Support\Providers\RouteServiceProvider as ServiceProvider;use Illuminate\Routing\Router;class RouteServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider{    /**     * This namespace is applied to the controller routes in your routes file.     *     * In addition, it is set as the URL generator's root namespace.     *     * @var string     */    protected $webNamespace = 'App\Http\Controllers\Web';    protected $apiNamespace = 'App\Http\Controllers\Api';    /**     * Define your route model bindings, pattern filters, etc.     *     * @param  \Illuminate\Routing\Router $router     *     * @return void     */    public function boot(Router $router)    {        //        parent::boot($router);    }    /**     * Define the routes for the application.     *     * @param  \Illuminate\Routing\Router $router     *     * @return void     */    public function map(Router $router)    {        /*        |--------------------------------------------------------------------------        | Web Router         |--------------------------------------------------------------------------        */        $router->group(['namespace' => $this->webNamespace], function ($router) {            require app_path('Http/routes.web.php');        });        /*        |--------------------------------------------------------------------------        | Api Router         |--------------------------------------------------------------------------        */        $router->group(['namespace' => $this->apiNamespace], function ($router) {            require app_path('Http/routes.api.php');        });    }}

Note: you can add as many route files as you want...

The group() method on Laravel's Route, can accept filename, so we can something like this:

// web.phpRoute::prefix('admin')    ->group(base_path('routes/admin.php'));// admin.phpRoute::get('/', 'AdminController@index');

You can create as many route files as you need anywhere and then just require them in the main route file smth like:

Route::get('/', function () {    return 'Hello World';});Route::post('foo/bar', function () {    return 'Hello World';});require_once "../../myModule1/routes.php";require_once "../../myModule2/routes.php"require_once "some_other_folder/routes.php"

where you will define routes in the same way as in main
