Introduction

• The goal of this case study is to configure different custom error pages according the http status code.

How to configure the customize error views

Add/change the render function in the file ' app -> Exceptions -> Handles.php ' like this:

<?php

namespace App\Exceptions;

use Illuminate\Foundation\Exceptions\Handler as ExceptionHandler;
use Illuminate\Http\Exceptions\ThrottleRequestsException;
use Throwable;

class Handler extends ExceptionHandler
{
    .
    .
    .
    .
    
    public function render($request, Throwable $exception)
    {
        if ($this->isHttpException($exception))
        {
            if ($exception->getStatusCode() == 404)
            {
                return response()->view('errors.404', [], 404);
            }
            if ($exception->getStatusCode() == 500)
            {
                return response()->view('errors.500', [], 500);
            }
            if ($exception->getStatusCode() == 429)
            {
                return response()->view('errors.429', [], 429);
            }
        }

        return parent::render($request, $exception);
    }
}

• Create a dir called ' errors ' inside the dir ' resources -> views ' like this:

  

Example of the error templates:

• 500

• 404

• 429

Example of the CSS used in the example templates above:

@font-face {
    font-family: 'Montserrat';
    font-style: normal;
    font-weight: 900;
    font-display: swap;
    src: url(/fonts.gstatic.com/s/montserrat/v25/JTUHjIg1_i6t8kCHKm4532VJOt5-QNFgpCvC73w0aXpsog.woff2) format('woff2');
    unicode-range: U+0460-052F, U+1C80-1C88, U+20B4, U+2DE0-2DFF, U+A640-A69F, U+FE2E-FE2F;
}

    }

    .error .error-status-code h1 {
        font-size: 162px;
        height: 150px;
        line-height: 162px
    }

    .error h2 {
        font-size: 16px
