Controller show method intercepting route without parameter

Question

Hello, in my system I have a model Photogallerycategory that has a self relationship. To make my life easier in the create (controller Resource) method, I added a parameter to receive the parent category id. If father is null, it means that that category has no father and it would be root.

I deleted the create method from the Resource route and added a new one by passing the optional parameter to the method. If I enter the route and pass the parameter, it works normally, if I do not pass parameter I am directed to the show method. The /create is understood as a parameter.

Below is my code for this situation:

 Route::resource('/galleryCategory', 'PhotoGalleryCategoryController')->except(['create']);
    Route::get('/galleryCategory/create/{category?}', 'PhotoGalleryCategoryController@create')->name('galleryCategory.create');

public function create($id = null)
    {
        $entity = null;
        $fields = 'app.models.photoGalleryCategory.categoryCreateEdit';
        $action = 'galleryCategory.store';
        $parent = $this->repository->show($id);
        return view('app.templates.form', compact('entity', 'fields', 'action', 'parent'));
    }

Does anyone know how to avoid this problem?

You are using the verb GET and so is being redirected to the method show, change to POST.

Route::post('/galleryCategory/create/{category?}', 'PhotoGalleryCategoryController@create')->name('galleryCategory.create');
