In Laravel, you can override the route key for the modal by using the "getRouteKeyName" method. Instead of the default "id" you can now specify to use your preferred column such as "slug" or another column identifier that you have set.
Inside your "App\Models\[your-modal].php" modal define the "getRouteKeyName".
Inside your "App\Models\[your-modal].php" modal define the "getRouteKeyName".
# App\Models\Article.php
public function getRouteKeyName()
{
return 'slug';
}In your route specify the "article" as the key and by doing so Laravel will use the "slug" key to implicitly retrieve the instance.
# routes/web.php
Route::get('/article/{article}', 'ArticleController@show');In the controller, specify the "article" as the key and type hint in the model instance.
# App\Http\Controllers\ArticleController.php
public function show(Article $article)
{
dd($article);
}Before
# App\Http\Controllers\ArticleController.php
public function show($id)
{
$article = Article::find($id);
dd($article);
}After
# App\Http\Controllers\ArticleController.php
public function show(Article $article)
{
dd($article);
}
