Laravel check if route for given url exists inside routes

By providing a URL I would like to know if there's any way to determine if the URL exists in my Laravel application (in comparison to "How can I check if a URL exists via Laravel?" which wants to check an external URL)?

I tried this but it always tells me the URL doesn't match:

$routes = \Route::getRoutes();
$request = \Request::create('/exists');
try {
    $routes->match($request);
    // route exists
} catch (\Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Exception\NotFoundHttpException $e){
    // route doesn't exist
}

Route::has('route_name') check if the route exists (on routes files).

Example: test some app routes

<?php

namespace Tests\Feature;

use App\Models\Users\User;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;
use Tests\TestCase;

class RouteTest extends TestCase
{
    private $routes = [
        'home',
        'users.index',
        'employees.index',
        'logs.index',
    ];


    public function setUp(): void
    {
        parent::setUp();

        // Put an admin on session
        $adminUser = User::getFirstAdmin();
        $this->actingAs($adminUser);
    }

    public function testRoutes()
    {
        foreach ($this->routes as $route) {
            $this->assertTrue(Route::has($route));

            $response = $this->get(route($route));
            $response->assertStatus(200);
        }
    }
}

Edition

The fast way, check with tinker typing on the terminal:

php artisan tinker

then:

Route::has('your_route')

or

route('your_route')

In one of my Laravel application, I achieved it by doing the following

private function getRouteSlugs()
{
    $slugs  = [];
    $routes = Route::getRoutes();

    foreach ($routes as $route)
    {
        $parts = explode('/', $route->uri());
        foreach ($parts as $part)
        {
            $slug    = trim($part, '{}?');
            $slugs[] = $slug;
        }
    }

    return array_unique($slugs);
}

This function would help to get all the slugs that are registered within Laravel and then with a simple in_array you can check if that slug has been reserved.

EDIT

Based on your comment, you can extend the following function

private function getRouteSlugs()
{
    $slugs  = [];
    $routes = Route::getRoutes();

    foreach ($routes as $route)
    {
        $slugs[] = $route->uri();
    }

    return array_unique($slugs);
}

That will get you an array of items as such:

0 => "dashboard/news"
1 => "dashboard/post/news"
2 => "dashboard/post/news/{id}"
3 => "dashboard/post/news"

It should be easy enough from here to compare.
