[Proposal] Defining Base URL for Route::group

[raftalks]

Route::group(array('base'=>'admin'),function(){

    Route::get('/', function()
    {
        return 'Generates: http://domain.com/admin/';
    });

    Route::get('users', function()
    {
        return 'Generates: http://domain.com/admin/users';
    });

        // generates: http://domain.com/admin/foo
    Route::get('foo', 'Namespace\FooController@method');

       // Responds to '/admin/user'
       Route::resource('user', 'Admin\\UserController');

});

I feel this might be handy when making modular app packages like a CMS module where the developer is allowed to group all the routes of the package and set its base url from the group route.

What do you think to implement this?

At the moment we can simply get similar functionality by putting a function call or string to write route url however having an option to specify a base url for grouped routes will make it nice.

I like the idea! similar to domain-routing that is already implemented. Might also be a solution to #170.

[Anahkiasen]

Like this idea.

Exactly what we need for FluxBB. I was about to suggest this, too. (Had a browser tab open with a ticket draft, in fact.)

Done.

[taylorotwell]

Used prefix instead of base.

[raftalks]

thanks @taylorotwell :)

[jasonlewis]

You always come up with nicer terms @taylorotwell. base just didn't feel right yet I couldn't think of an alternative! :)

Excellent! I've made a question about this some days ago. http://forums.laravel.io/viewtopic.php?id=4615

Thank you Taylor
