Clear Route Cache in Laravel

Clear Route Cache via Artisan Command:

You can use the following Artisan command to clear the route cache:

php artisan route:clear

This command clears the cached routes file, ensuring Laravel re-parses the route definitions.

Clear All Cache (Including Route Cache):

If you want to clear all cache types, including route cache, you can run:


php artisan cache:clear


php artisan config:clear


php artisan route:clear


php artisan view:clear

Rebuild Route Cache:

After clearing, you might want to rebuild the route cache for better performance:

php artisan route:cache

Note: This command caches your routes in a single file for optimized performance. Avoid using it during development.

Important Considerations:

Always clear and rebuild the route cache after making changes to your routes/web.php or routes/api.php files.
Avoid caching routes during active development, as changes might not reflect without clearing the cache.
Regularly clear cache in production environments after deployments to prevent stale data.
