In Laravel 8, how to redirect to home in case on 500 error

Question

I'm using Laravel 8, in production my .env set to APP_DEBUG=false but I don't want show a 500 view, I need redirect to mysite.com/home if Laravel returns a 500 error.

In Laravel docs (https://laravel.com/docs/8.x/errors) explain how to handle errors but i can't understand it, im new in Laravel 8.

My app/Exceptions/Handler.php is:

<?php

namespace AppExceptions;

use IlluminateFoundationExceptionsHandler as ExceptionHandler;
use Throwable;

class Handler extends ExceptionHandler
{
    /**
     * A list of the exception types that are not reported.
     *
     * @var array
     */
    protected $dontReport = [
        //
    ];

    /**
     * A list of the inputs that are never flashed for validation exceptions.
     *
     * @var array
     */
    protected $dontFlash = [
        'password',
        'password_confirmation',
    ];

    /**
     * Register the exception handling callbacks for the application.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function register()
    {
        $this->reportable(function (Throwable $e) {
            //
        });
    }
}

Answer 1

you can handel Exception and get status code by getStatusCode()

use Exception;

/**
 * Register the exception handling callbacks for the application.
 *
 * @return void
 */
public function register()
{
    $this->reportable(function (Exception $e) {
        logger($e); 

        if($e->getStatusCode() == 500 ){
            return redirect('/');
        }
    });
}
