I'm new to Laravel, could you push me into the right direction?
I need to render blog post on url like this site.com/posts/1/slugged-url-of-the-post/, where 1 is the category_id.
I have no problem with site.com/posts/slugged-url-of-the-post/, but absolutely stuck with adding one more parameter to the route and making it work. The database is okay, and I have no problems with displaying the post category_id as a text value, for example, in the posts.show blade file.
Please, help?
Route::get('/posts/{post}', function( App\Models\Post $post) {
// need to make this work:
// Route::get('/posts/{category_id}/{post}' ...
return view('posts.show')->with('post', $post);
});
namespace App\Models;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\HasFactory;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use Cviebrock\EloquentSluggable\Sluggable;
use Cviebrock\EloquentSluggable\SluggableScopeHelpers;
class Post extends Model
{
use HasFactory, Sluggable, SluggableScopeHelpers;
public function sluggable(): array
{
return [
'slug' => [
'source' => 'title',
],
];
}
public function getRouteKeyName(): string
{
return 'slug';
}
}
Hello @mike p... you can do that like this :
use App\Models\Category, App\Models\Post;
Route::get("/posts/{category}/{post:id}", function(Category $category, Post $post) {
return view('posts.show')->with([
'category' => $category,
'post' => $post
]);
});
Hope it helps you !
@danielrubango Thank you, but I don't have Category model at the moment.
I have a database record in the posts table:
| id | category_id | slug |
| --- | ----------- | -----------
| 1 | 12 | it-is-a-slug |
and I'm using github.com/cviebrock/eloquent-sluggable, which says:
you can set up your routes as described in the Eloquent documentation:
Route::get('api/posts/{post}', function(App\Post $post): string {
return $post->title;
});
In this example, since the Eloquent type-hinted $post variable defined on the route matches the {post} segment in the route's URI, Laravel will automatically inject the model instance that has a slug matching the corresponding value from the request URI.
What I need is to write such a route to make this work
posts/12/it-is-a-slug/
instead of this (which is currently working):
posts/it-is-a-slug/
So that's the question, how to write it? Thank you
@danielrubango I don't know if this decision is good or not, but I came up with the following:
Route::get('/posts/{category}/{slug}', [PostController::class, 'getSingle']);
public function getSingle($category, $slug)
{
$post = Post::where('category_id','=',$category)->where('slug','=',$slug)->first();
return view('posts.single')->with('post', $post);
}
