How to pass parameters to the Resource controller directly from the View with Helper url()

Question

I have the following route on my Laravel app (v5.5):

Route::resource('tags', 'Painel\TagsController');

In accordance with documentation official, this gives me a route with action Edit, verb GET and URI (/photos/{photo}/Edit). In my View I need to generate a list, example:

<a title="Editar" href="{{ url('/painel/tags/1/edit') }}">
<a title="Editar" href="{{ url('/painel/tags/2/edit') }}">
<a title="Editar" href="{{ url('/painel/tags/3/edit') }}">

Numeric values represent the records returned from the database and printed via loop loop. I can do what I want this way:

<a title="Editar" href="{{ url('/painel/tags/' . $t->id . '/edit') }}">

However, I wanted to see if some Laravel Helper allows you to do this in a more elegant way, something like:

<a title="Editar" href="{{ url('/painel/tags/edit', $t->id) }}">

Answer 1

There are two other ways you can do this:

Url from a named path (the Resource already does it for us too)

echo route('tags.edit', ['id' => 1]);

// http://example.com/painel/tags/1

Url from the action that controller

action('Painel\TagsController@edit', ['id' => 1]);

// http://example.com/painel/tags/1

With this the Laravel takes care to solve the route for you, in case you are using some Route::group and the like.

You can do it using route() in place of url(), but in route() you use the name of the route and not the path... as you used the method Route::resource() these names were given automatically, to see the name of a derminated route you want to use you can use the command php artisan route:list it will return a list with all routes and their information.

In your case as it is a GET for Edit, probably the name will be 'tags.edit' then you can call the route so: route('tags.edit', $t->id)
