Laravel - Point all route requests to single view or function

Question

I have a master view and want all my GET routes return the same every time. E.g

Route::get('/user', function() {
  view('layout');
});
Route::get('/user/add', function() {
  view('layout');
});

How to write a single route function so that returns layout view every time? It means in any case or any number of parameters passed, it should always return layout view.

yes but in that case `/user` has to be hardcoded. I want to avoid it. — SanketR, Aug 10 '21 at 07:33
You can just use `'/{any}'` without user. Wondering why you want to do that, its strange. — Gert B., Aug 10 '21 at 07:35

You can use variables in your route definition. This will hit on all routes.

Route::get('/{route?}', function() {
  view('layout');
});

A better approach in my opinion is to look how CMS structures do it. And do it with sections of the URL and you can handle it for more customization.

Route::get('/{model?}/{action?}', function($model, $action) {
    if ($model === 'user') {
        return view('user', compact('action'));
    } 

    return view('default');
});
