Laravel - Catch all except /api routes. Useful for SPAs inside Laravel.

web.php

<?php

Route::get('{all}', function () {
    return view('index');
})->where('all', '^((?!api).)*');

You dont need to ignore api if you are using routes/api file because it is imported before the routes/web file by

Hi, I don't agree. You should still ignore API for debug purposes.
If you use a not allowed methode or route that's created wrong (Forgotten or typo). You'd like to get the Laravel arror instead of the SPA.
I still recommend ignoring /api
