Create link with id passed to it
I have a table with a list of animals on and I want to have a button to add photos:
@foreach($animals as $animal)
<tr>
<td><a href="/animals/{{ $animal->id }}">{{$animal->name}}</a></td>
<td>{{ $animal->sex === 1 ? "Female" : "Male" }}</td>
<td>{{$animal->dob}}</td>
<td>{{$animal->coatcolour}}</td>
<td><a href="/animalphotos/create">Add Photos</a></td>
</tr>
@endforeach
I've set up an AnimalPhotoController but I need to be able to pass the Animal ID when you click on Add Photos in the table above. How do I do that? Thanks.

You would have a route like;
Route::get('/animals/{animal}/photo/create', 'AnimalPhotocontroller@create')->name('animal.photo.create');
then in your table, use the route helper to insert the animal at the correct location in the url
<a href="{{ route('animal.photos.create', $animal }}">Add Photos</a>
by passing in the animal into the route helper. Laravel will know to insert the route key (usually the id) into the route.
In your controller, you can accept the animal that wants a photo
//AnimalPhotoController
public function create(Animal $animal)
{
// here $animal should be the model

@snapey I'm a little bit confused as to what should be plural and what shouldn't.
I have this so far:
AnimalPhotoController.php
public function create(Animal $animal)
{
return view('animalPhotos.create', compact('animal'));
}
web/routes.php
Route::get('/animals/{animal}/photos/create', 'AnimalPhotoController@create')->name('animals.photos.create');
animals/index.blade.php
<td><a href="{{ route('animals.photos.create'), $animal }}">Add Photos</a></td>
When I click on that link I get:
Missing required parameters for [Route: animals.photos.create] [URI: animals/{animal}/photos/create]. (View: /Users/Sarah/Projects/catalog/resources/views/animals/index.blade.php)

You have mistake here
<td><a href="{{ route('animals.photos.create', $animal) }}">Add Photos</a></td>

Route::get('/animals/{animal}/photos/create'
Yes, you are correct, by convention, resource routes should be plural (the animals part). photo or photos is the same. Here I would be guided by the functionality. Are we creating one photo or many photos.
->name('animals.photos.create');
name is just a label. Call it what you like as long as you are consistent
Michal is correct, you just have the bracket in the wrong place in the route helper.
