MethodNotAllowedHttpException, redirect to 404 Laravel 9-CodePudding

So when a user randomly types a URL on a route that exists, they get an error message:

Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Exception\MethodNotAllowedHttpException
The GET method is not supported for this route. Supported methods: POST.

After doing some searching, all the posts I can find suggest to change the render function inside of App\Exceptions\Handler and change it to this:

 public function render($request, Exception $exception)
 {
    if($exception instanceof \Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Exception\MethodNotAllowedHttpException){
      return abort('404');
    }

    return parent::render($request, $exception);
 }

However, with the newer version of Laravel this no longer exists. One post mentioned to add this in routes\web.php:

Route::fallback( function () {
    abort( 404 );
} );

This works fine but I'm not sure if this is the best approach/right place to have it? Is there are any other alternative way?

I have also attempted to change the register function inside of App\Exceptions\Handler to this per the Laravel Doc (https://laravel.com/docs/9.x/errors#rendering-exceptions):

use Illuminate\Foundation\Exceptions\Handler as ExceptionHandler;
use Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Exception\NotFoundHttpException;

 public function register()
    {
        $this->renderable(function (NotFoundHttpException $e, $request) {
            if ($request->is('api/*')) {
                return response()->json([
                    'message' => 'Record not found.'
                ], 404);
            }
        });
    }

but it does not work

CodePudding user response：

In a newer version on Laravel, you can add

$this->renderable(function (Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Exception\MethodNotAllowedHttpException $e) {
       // do something
});

this line inside a register method on a class \App\Exceptions\Handler

If you want to handle NotFoundException you should use

$this->renderable(function (Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Exception\NotFoundHttpException $e) {
     // do something
});
