Hi
I am building web app. where url need to be like:
Route::get('/', 'PsotsController@index');
Auth::routes();
Route::resource('post', 'PsotsController');
Route::get('/profile', 'ProfileController@index')->name('home');
so i did
Route::resource('{username}', 'PostsController');
and i get the error : Route pattern "/{username}/{{username}}" .
λ php artisan route:list
.
{username} | {username}.index | App\Http\Controllers\PostsController@index
{username} | {username}.store | App\Http\Controllers\PostsController@store
{username}/create | {username}.create | App\Http\Controllers\PostsController@create
{username}/{{username}} | {username}.update | App\Http\Controllers\PostsController@update
{username}/{{username}} | {username}.show | App\Http\Controllers\PostsController@show
{username}/{{username}} | {username}.destroy | App\Http\Controllers\PostsController@destroy
{username}/{{username}}/edit | {username}.edit | App\Http\Controllers\PostsController@edit
How to delete the second {{username}} from the url pattern?
The use of the Route::resource does not require the flag you are having,
https://laravel.com/docs/7.x/controllers#restful-partial-resource-routes
Route::resource('/users', 'PostsController'); will resolve to the {username} you require without the need to add it to the resource, if you do not want to use the ID but the username then in the User model add getRouteKeyName()
Why you dont't create it just like this? It should be CRUD?
Route::get('{username}', 'UserController@show')->name('user.show');
@m7vm7v Thank you for your replay. I am sill looking for solution.
web.php
Route::resource('{user}', 'PostsController');
λ php artisan route:list
GET|HEAD | {user} | {user}.index | App\Http\Controllers\PostsController@index
POST | {user} | {user}.store | App\Http\Controllers\PostsController@store
GET|HEAD | {user}/create | {user}.create | App\Http\Controllers\PostsController@create
DELETE | {user}/{{user}} | {user}.destroy | App\Http\Controllers\PostsController@destroy
GET|HEAD | {user}/{{user}} | {user}.show | App\Http\Controllers\PostsController@show
UT|PATCH | {user}/{{user}} | {user}.update | App\Http\Controllers\PostsController@update
GET|HEAD | {user}/{{user}}/edit | {user}.edit | App\Http\Controllers\PostsController@edit
index store create Work Fine destroy show update edit show the username twice
And i sow the video and tried getRouteKeyName() in the Model.
I think the problem is from Route::resource.
@michaloravec Thank you for your replay.
Yes, It should be CRUD.
Is there away so i can edit Route::resources ?
Route::resource('{user}', 'PostsController')->only(['show']);
What about that?
Route::resource('{user}', 'PostsController', ['parameters' => ['{user}' => 'optional?']]);
But in edit method you will need add something as optional parameter, also to show, update, destroy and edit method you will need add $optional = null as parameter
Or
Route::resource('{user}', 'PostsController', ['parameters' => ['{user}' => 'optional?'], 'except' => ['edit']]);
Route::get('{user}/edit', 'PostsController@edit')->name('{user}.edit');
But it's still better use classic resource like
Route::resource('users', 'PostsController');

@mrali If your route is like this
Route::get('/{user}/{post}/edit', 'PostsController@edit');
So you have to have both parameters in controller method, and in all of them where it is neccesary.
public function edit($userId, $postId)
{
// your code
}
So second paramteter is $postId
@m7vm7v @michaloravec @drewdan
{dd($post)}}
In post.blade.php
And editpost.blade.php
return null
@mrali Did you read what I write before?
And one more thing, instead of Post::find($id); use Post::findOrFail($id)
I did read what you wrote.
Missing required parameters for [Route: ] [URI: {user}/{post}]. (View: C:\xampp\htdocs\d\resources\views\editpost.blade.php)
http://127.0.0.1:8000/MrAli/5478/edit
Route::Get('/{user:username}', 'PostsController@index');
Route::Get('/{user:username}/create', 'PostsController@create'); // {user:username}/add
Route::Post('/{user:username}/{post:link}', 'PostsController@store');
Route::GET('/{user:username}/{post:link}', 'PostsController@show');
Route::GET('/{user:username}/{post:link}/edit', 'PostsController@edit');
Route::PUT('/{user:username}/{post:link}', 'PostsController@update');
Route::DELETE('/{user:username}/{post:link}', 'PostsController@destroy');
public function edit($post_link, $user_username)
{
$post = Post::find($post_link);
$user_id = Auth::id();
$user = User::find($user_username);
return view('editpost')
->with('post', $post)
->with('user', $user);
}
I comment out getRouteKeyName() in User.php and Post.php
Post::findOrFail($id) Don't show error details so i use Post::find($id).
You have two parameters you have to add both of them.
It doesn't error because that Post with that id doesn't exists
Please read this https://laravel.com/docs/7.x/eloquent#retrieving-single-models
Or maybe whole documentation, you find there a lot useful information.

@mrali How I menioned before on this example
Route::resource('{user}', 'PostsController', ['parameters' => ['{user}' => 'optional?']]);
// or
Route::resource('{user}', 'PostsController')->parameters([
'{user}' => 'optional?'
]);
parameters is important.
But if you have problem with resource just don't use it a make your routes by hand for that.
That's it.
Documentation: https://laravel.com/docs/7.x/controllers#restful-naming-resource-routes
If you find yourself having to make modifications to the expected behaviour of Route::resource then I recommend you declare all of your routes as you require them. Write some tests to help you assert that those endpoints are working and then when you have the routes working then you have a base for regressions in your tests if you wish to refactor later.
I could have cut this short by saying its not possible to have a resource route as the / route
All resource routes need a prefix of some sort.
