How to Redirect Back After Saving Data in Laravel

If you're new to Laravel and working on a project that requires you to return the user to the previous state after saving data, you're not alone. Many developers encounter this common scenario when they want users to continue seamlessly from where they left off after submitting forms. In this guide, we'll explore a practical solution to redirect users back to the previous page after saving their input data. Let's dive in!

The Problem: Returning to the Previous Page

When working within a Laravel application, you might have a form that collects user information. After successfully saving this data, you want to redirect the user back to the previous page, showing them any relevant information or updates. The issue arises because the typical approach to handling form submissions may not take into account how to effectively manage redirection.

This approach is incorrect because view() does not provide a redirect() method.

The Solution: Using Redirects Properly

To successfully redirect back to the previous page after saving data, you should use Laravel's built-in redirect() method. Here's how you can do it step-by-step:

Step 1: Validate Input Data

Before you save the incoming data, ensure that it meets your criteria using Laravel validation. This will prepare for the next step, which is saving data properly.
