Laravel route with variable - laravel

Question

I have controller with show function:
class CssController extends BaseController
{
public function show($id)
{
$csstablepost = CssTable::findOrFail($id);
return View::make('posts/csspost1', compact('csstablepost'));
}
}
And my route:
Route::get('/css3/{id}', 'CssController#show' );
Everything is working fine and corect id is in route, but I want get $title in my route. I have title and id column in database. Why my route isn't working with title if i change all id to title, but works with id? Is there a way, to get my title in route name?

Answer 1

I'm assuming you are changing your query to CssTable::findOrFail($title); and findOrFail() looks for the PK on your table. You'll want to change this too something like CssTable::where('title', '=', $title)->firstOrFail();.
Full Example:
class CssController extends BaseController
{
public function show($title)
{
$csstablepost = CssTable::where('title', '=', $title)->firstOrFail();
return View::make('posts/csspost1', compact('csstablepost'));
}
}
Route::get('/css3/{title}', 'CssController#show');
See more documentation.

Try with following code-
class CssController extends BaseController
{
public function show($id)
{
$csstablepost = CssTable::where('id', '=', $id)->first();
return View::make('posts/csspost1')->with('csstablepost', $csstablepost);
}
}
Now go to route page-
Route::get('css3/{title}', 'CssController#show');
Hope, it will work.
