I'm using hash IDs to display a Post ID publicly so I have to decode that ID every time I want to find a Post, which is getting messy. Is there a way to automatically decode the hash ID for each one of my controller methods?
Here's an example of what I'm currently using.
public function destroy($id)
{
// Is there a way to decode the hash ID globally in the controller so I can get rid of the following line?
$id = Post::decodeHashId($id);
$delete = Post::findOrFail($id)->delete();
if($delete) {
return response()->json(['success' => 'success'], 204);
}
return response()->json(['success' => 'error'], 500);
}
