Variable in apiResource 404 not found-CodePudding

I'm learning Laravel and the apiResource. My page is returning 404. I need my second path to be a variable because it is to show the sub-categories from the products, so it needs to drill down depending on what ID is passed from the productId.

/products - shows the parent products (ie.transport)
/products/{id} - shows (ie.cars)
/products/{id}/{car-types} - shows (ie.sports-cars, luxury-cars, 4wd)
/products/{id}/{car-types}/{id} - shows (ie. the actual car)

Routes

Route::apiResource('/products', ProductController::class);
Route::apiResource('/products.{product-types}', ProductTypeController::class);

You can do something like this

Routes

Route::apiResource('products', ProductController::class)
    ->only(['index', 'show'])
    ->parameters(['products' => 'id']);

Route::apiResource('products.product-types', ProductTypeController::class)
    ->only(['index', 'show'])
    ->parameters([
        'products' => 'pid',
        'product-types' => 'id',
    ]);

URL

/products
/products/{id}
/products/{pid}/product-types
/products/{pid}/product-types/{id}

CodePudding user response：

The error here is caused by your use of curly braces ({, }) in your apiResource name parameter, these are not required (check the #nested resource documentation for more info).

So to fix your issue, all you need to do is remove the curly braces.

Route::apiResource('/products', ProductController::class);
Route::apiResource('/products.product-types', ProductTypeController::class);

This will result in standardised routes being produced (use php artisan route:list in your terminal to get an output of your available configured routes by the way).
