Simple trick for your BaseController.php

BaseController.php

<?php

class BaseController extends Controller {
	
	/**
	 * Setup the layout used by the controller.
	 *
	 * @return void
	 */
	protected function setupLayout()
	{
		if ( ! is_null($this->layout))
		{
			$this->layout = View::make($this->layout);
		}
	}

	/**
	 * Get the evaluated view contents for the given view.
	 *
	 * @param  string  $view
	 * @param  array   $data
	 * @param  array   $mergeData
	 * @return \Illuminate\View\View
	 */
	public function view($name, $data = array(), $mergeData = array())
	{
		return View::make($name, $data, $mergeData);
	}

	/**
	 * Create a new redirect response to the given path.
	 *
	 * @param  string  $path
	 * @param  int     $status
	 * @param  array   $headers
	 * @param  bool    $secure
	 * @return \Illuminate\Http\RedirectResponse
	 */
	public function redirect($path, $status = 302, $headers = array(), $secure = null)
	{
		return Redirect::to($path, $status, $headers, $secure);
	}

	/**
	 * Create a new redirect response to a named route.
	 *
	 * @param  string  $route
	 * @param  array   $parameters
	 * @param  int     $status
	 * @param  array   $headers
	 * @return \Illuminate\Http\RedirectResponse
	 */
	public function redirectRoute($route, $parameters = array(), $status = 302, $headers = array())
	{
		return Redirect::route($route, $parameters, $status, $headers);
	}

	/**
	 * Create a new redirect response to the previous location.
	 *
	 * @param  int    $status
	 * @param  array  $headers
	 * @return \Illuminate\Http\RedirectResponse
	 */
	public function redirectBack($status = 302, $headers = array())
	{
		return Redirect::back($status, $headers);
	}

	/**
	 * Create a new redirect response to the "home" route.
	 *
	 * @param  int  $status
	 * @return \Illuminate\Http\RedirectResponse
	 */
	public function redirectHome($status = 302)
	{
		return Redirect::home($status);
	}

	/**
	 * Create a new redirect response to the previous location.
	 *
	 * @param  int    $status
	 * @param  array  $headers
	 * @return \Illuminate\Http\RedirectResponse
	 */
	public function goBack($status = 302, $headers = array())
	{
		return $this->redirectBack($status, $headers);
	}

	/**
	 * Create a new redirect response to the "home" route.
	 *
	 * @param  int  $status
	 * @return \Illuminate\Http\RedirectResponse
	 */
	public function goHome($status)
	{
		return $this->redirectHome($status);
	}

}

Contoh Penggunaan :

Alternatif kode untuk menampilkan view :

return $this->view('home');

Alternatif kode untuk meredirect ke halaman (uri) tertentu :

return $this->redirect('sessions/create');

Untuk method lainnya, cara pemanggilannya sama seperti memanggil method dari class tertentu pada umumnya.
Tinggal diatur sesuai kebutuhan saja :)
