Redirect to a Controller Method in Laravel

Laravel provides tons of options for redirecting, but did you know you can redirect specifically to a controller method?

Here's how.

return redirect()
    ->action([DashboardController::class, 'index']);

You can also pass parameters through if they're required.

return redirect()
    action([UserController::class, 'profile'], ['id' => 1]);

This redirection method isn't widely used, but makes sense for when it's clearer to redirect to specific methods rather than named routes.
