exception - Handle TokenMismatchException in laravel 5

Question

I need to handle TokenMismatchException in laravel 5 such a way that if token does not match it will show some message to user instead of TokenMismatchException error.

You can create a custom exception render in the AppExceptionsHandler class (in the /app/Exceptions/Handler.php file).

For example, to render a different view when for the TokenMismatchException error, you can change the render method to something like this:

/**
 * Render an exception into an HTTP response.
 *
 * @param  IlluminateHttpRequest  $request
 * @param  Exception  $e
 * @return IlluminateHttpResponse
 */
public function render($request, Exception $e)
{
    if ($e instanceof IlluminateSessionTokenMismatchException) {
        return response()->view('errors.custom', [], 500);
    }
    return parent::render($request, $e);
}
