How to perform an "internal" redirect in Laravel 5.3
<p>I understand how to redirect users using redirect() method, but this method returns a 302 code and the browser must make a second HTTP request. Is it possible to internally forward the request to a different controller and action?</p>

<p>I'm doing this check in middleware so my handle function looks like this:</p>

<pre><code>public function handle($request, Closure $next)
  {
    if (auth()-&gt;user-&gt;age &lt;= 20) { //example
        //internally forward the user to a different controller@action
    }

    return $next($request);
  }

}
</code></pre>
