Alias for a route with a fixed parameter value

Question

I have this route:

Route::get('/MyModel/{id}', 'MyModel@show');

The method

show()

accepts a parameter called

id

and I want to setup an alias for

/MyModel/1

so it's accesible from

/MyCustomURL

.

I already tried a few combinations, like:

Route::get('/MyCustomURL', ['uses' => 'MyModel@show', 'id' => 1]);

But I keep getting missing required argument error for method

show()

.

Is there a clean way to achieve this in Laravel?

Answer 1

In same controller (in your case MyModel ?) you should create one new method:

public function showAliased()
{
   return $this->show(1);
}

and now you can define your aliased route like so:

Route::get('/MyCustomURL', 'MyModel@showAliased');
