Just like deleted_at is applied to all eloquent queries, is there way to apply a global scope on few selected routes?
e.g. Adding a scope on all the show routes.
Possible solution (I think): Create a middleware. Add the middleware attribute on selected routes. But how would the middleware know to bind a scope unto eloquent?
You can define your own model binding resolution logic, with a custom route parameter
https://laravel.com/docs/8.x/routing#customizing-the-resolution-logic
If you are using resource controllers, you can change route paramater
https://laravel.com/docs/8.x/controllers#restful-naming-resource-route-parameters
Just so it's clear to me. I should Naming Resource Route Parameters on the selected routes and use Customizing The Resolution Logic to bind the scope conditions. Is that what you meant?
@chaudigv Naming Resource Route Parameters will work for entirety resource controller.
so better will be to exclude that route from resource controller
Route::get('users/{custom_user}', [UserController::class, 'show']);
Route::resource('users', UserController::class)->except([
'show'
]);
Definition of custom_user could be something like this
use App\Models\User;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;
/**
* Define your route model bindings, pattern filters, etc.
*
* @return void
*/
public function boot()
{
Route::bind('custom_user', function ($value) {
return User::localScope()->findOrFail($value);
});
// ...
}
You could make a binding for a specific wildcard in the route URI, and use a local scope rather than a global scope; for example:
Route::bind('scopedUser', fn ($value) => User::localScope()->findOrFail($value));
Route::get('users/{scopedUser}', fn (User $scopedUser) => dump($scopedUser));
This allows you to also define routes with the generic {user} wildcard, which will not use the resolution logic above.
True. In such case, i have to add local scopes to respective models. And rename the model binding parameter on respective controllers. That is still a bit of work.
Is there no possibility of using middleware with route binding and global scopes? This way I simply have to add conditions on selected routes, rather than making changes at bunch of places.

Is the global scope shared (e.g. in a Trait) amongst a number of Models currently? You could easily convert it to a localScope.
