Redirect returning query param instead of path

Laravel 8 Intertia.js

Within my UserController::store() endpoint, I create a user and want to be redirected back to the newly created resource, /users/{id}.

According to the Laravel documentation, I can use the following:

return redirect()->route('users', ['id' => $user->id]);

return redirect()->route('users', [$user]);

The issue is that the redirect is returning an id query param /users?21, instead of a path /users/21

Any ideas as to why this is happening?

Here is the request triggered from the frontend:

POST /users Status code: 302 found

and after resource creation

GET /users?25 Status 200 OK

@tuesdave dont you want your route to be:

/users/{user}

I believe your route name is missing something. If you are using a resource controller for example, you should have something like this maybe:

return redirect()->route('users.show', $user);

To be able to tell to which of the specific users route are you trying to redirect.

Hope this helps
