You just give it the id. And in the controller you tell it you are expecting a model
Notice the User $user in this example https://laravel.com/docs/9.x/routing#implicit-binding

RMB ➕ Postman
Hello world.
I would like to update a blog. Since I am working with Route Model Binding, I am wondering how to pass a blog object into Postman.
There I have the possibility in the route something like "blogs/1" with a PUT request, but of course this will not work.
Does anyone have some advice on this?
Thanks. ✨
# api.php
Route::apiResource('photos', PhotoController::class);

Thank you, but I already understood that. The "blogs/1" was as an example of why it SURELY can't work.
I understood the route model binding and I am looking for a way to make the app calls via Postman.

@Konstruktionsplan you just call the url with blogs/1 and laravel will find the blog with id = 1 (if you set laravel up correctly). This has nothing to do with postman

Okay. Maybe we misunderstand each other or you don't know what Postman is. I would explain it briefly:
Postman is a software with which I can call routes, like from Laravel, with "POST", "GET" etc. This is what you use when you want to test API routes. :)
I need to pass a blog object via Postman to the route blogs/{blog}. The placeholder for this must of course be the blog I want to update.

@Konstruktionsplan I know very well what postman is.
What I am telling you is that the {blog} in blogs/{blog}, isn't an object. It is just an ID (or whatever you are binding to)

Is the question how you add data? Just the same as with a put request, except you leave out the id /blogs
So under body and set key value pairs with the data https://learning.postman.com/docs/sending-requests/requests/#form-data

@Konstruktionsplan if im not mistaken, you want to CREATE NEW or UPDATE a blog, no?
then you must provide the attributes in the body just like a form request

Hello friends! ✨
I have now experimented a little. It works now halfway. I am now trying to make a PUT request, however I am told that "title" and "body" are mandatory. Which is correct, since I require it in the request class as well.
So to understand:
- title and body are required
- I give via postman the form-data title and body to the update-route with the request PUT.
Still it tells me that it is required. Apparently it can't receive that from postman?
Thank you very much!
