Route Helper Package
====================

[](#route-helper-package)

This package simplifies the use of default parameters for Laravel routes. It allows you to define default values for route parameters, automatically fill them when generating URLs, and provides helper functions for route generation and redirection.

Features
--------

[](#features)

- Set and retrieve default route parameter values.
- Automatically include default parameters when generating URLs or redirecting to routes.
- Provides helper functions for route handling.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

1. Install the package using Composer:

    ```
    composer require drsoft/route-helper
    ```
2. Add the service provider to your `config/app.php` file (if not automatically registered):

    ```
    'providers' => [
        Drsoft28\RouteHelper\RouteHelperServiceProvider::class,
    ],
    ```
3. Publish the configuration (optional):

    ```
    php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Drsoft28\\RouteHelper\\RouteHelperServiceProvider"
    ```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

### Setting Default Route Parameters

[](#setting-default-route-parameters)

Use the `route_defaults` helper to set default values for route parameters:

```
route_defaults()->set('slug', 'default-slug');
```

### Generating Routes with Default Parameters

[](#generating-routes-with-default-parameters)

Use the `routeWithDefault` function to generate a route URL:

```
$url = routeWithDefault('vendor.home');
```

If the parameter `slug` is not provided, it will use the default value set earlier.

### Redirecting to Routes with Default Parameters

[](#redirecting-to-routes-with-default-parameters)

Use the `to_routeWithDefault` function for redirection:

```
return to_routeWithDefault('vendor.home');
```

### Accessing Default Parameter Values

[](#accessing-default-parameter-values)

Retrieve a parameter's default value:

```
$slug = route_defaults()->get('slug');
```

### Removing Default Parameter Values

[](#removing-default-parameter-values)

Remove a default parameter value:

```
route_defaults()->remove('slug');
```

### Example Scenario

[](#example-scenario)

1. Set a default value for `slug`:

    ```
    route_defaults()->set('slug', 'my-default-slug');
    ```
2. Generate a URL without passing the `slug` parameter:

    ```
    $url = routeWithDefault('vendor.home');
    echo $url; // Outputs: /my-default-slug/dashboard
    ```
3. Redirect to a route:

    ```
    return to_routeWithDefault('vendor.home');
    ```

Helpers Included
----------------

[](#helpers-included)

- **`route_defaults`**: Access the `RouteParameterDefaults` instance.
- **`routeWithDefault`**: Generate a route URL with default parameters.
- **`to_routeWithDefault`**: Redirect to a route with default parameters.

How It Works
------------

[](#how-it-works)

The package binds a singleton instance of `RouteParameterDefaults` to the service container. This instance manages the default values for route parameters and integrates them seamlessly into Laravel's route generation and redirection mechanisms.
