    ];`

1) builder_prefix

The builder by default come with route route('website.builder') which consists of your-domain.com/hello/front-end-builder.
you can change the builder prefix to hi so now the builder load with route prefix hi instead of hello.

2) middleware

Assign any middleware you want to the builder for example auth:admin.

3) frontend_prefix

The frontend prefix by default it comes empty that mean that any generated front end page builder it load directly with your slug that created by you so if you need to set prefix for your generated frontend so change it to your prefix that you want.
