laravel and angular routes overlapping and redirect to 404

Question

I have an angular project which is my root website and having a Laravel project in the backend folder in public_html. I have two types of routes, /backend/api/** is my api routes which I want to redirect to /404 in angular project when user want to access directly in the browser but want to access via httpclient module in angular and I have /backend/admin/** which is my admin routes and I want to stay untouched and can be accessed via the browser. My problem is the ** route in the angular overlap all the laravel routes and redirects to /404. what is the best solution. should I change .htaccess file or what? would you please help me?

you can add custom header to angular `httpClient` then based on server (laravel can react) — Kamlesh Paul, Apr 12 '21 at 07:16
the request does not get to laravel controller due to ** route in angular — Araz Shamsaddinlouy, Apr 12 '21 at 07:18
strangely i can call api but when i load that api route in browser it redirects to 404 — Araz Shamsaddinlouy, Apr 12 '21 at 07:26
oh then remove that redirection and use custom header to redirect only api routes to angular — Kamlesh Paul, Apr 12 '21 at 07:29

i don't know about angular so i took ref from this Adding a HTTP header to the Angular HttpClient doesn't send the header, why?

in angular

let headers = new HttpHeaders();
headers = headers.set('from', 'api');

then create a middleware

public function handle($request, Closure $next)
{
    if($request->header('from') != 'api'){
        return redirect('/'); // replace this with your url
    }
    return $next($request);
}

NOTE this is not exact solution but it is an idea

that is ok for api call and admin call but how about the other routes ... i mean the other non angular routes will not redirect to 404 ... since i need to remove 404 route from angular then doing that – Araz Shamsaddinlouy Apr 12 '21 at 07:38
@ArazShamsaddinlouy you just need to apply this middleware – Kamlesh Paul Apr 12 '21 at 08:14
