If you're a heavy user of [route model binding](https://laravel.com/docs/5.6/routing#route-model-binding) to automatically retrieve and inject model instances in your controllers, that means you have to *manually* register dozens or hundreds of models in your route service provider. You then need to do the same for each new, changed, or deleted model which makes this nifty feature hard to maintain and easy to forget. This package solves the issue of manually having to register each model by doing all the grunt work for you. It reads your `composer.json` PSR-4 autoload section and scans all their model directories for usable Eloquent models. It then explicitly binds each model into the router as a route segment variable using a case type of your choosing (see [configuring casing](#casing)). ### Example [](#example) Get rid of this boilerplate code: ``` public function boot() : void { Route::model('user', \App\Users\User::class); Route::model('order', \App\Orders\Order::class); Route::model('shoppingCart', \App\Carts\Cart::class); Route::model('Item', \App\Item::class); Route::model('Admin', \App\Users\Admin::class); … (repeat dozens of times) } ``` And just do this (for any Eloquent model in your application): ``` Route::get('profile/{user}', ShowProfile::class); Route::get('orders/{order}', ShowOrder::class); Route::get('carts/{shoppingCart}', ShowShoppingCart::class); … ``` Table of contents ----------------- [](#table-of-contents) - [Requirements](#requirements) - [How to install](#how-to-install) - [How to use](#how-to-use) - [Defining model namespaces](#defining-model-namespaces) - [Route segment variables](#route-segment-variables) - [Caching bindings for production](#caching-bindings-for-production) - [Configuration](#configuration) - [Casing](#casing) - [License](#license) - [Change log](#change-log) - [Testing](#testing) - [Contributing](#contributing) - [Security](#security) - [Credits](#credits) - [About](#about) Requirements ------------ [](#requirements) - PHP 7.3 or higher - Laravel 7.0 or higher How to install -------------- [](#how-to-install) Via Composer: ``` composer require sebastiaanluca/laravel-route-model-autobinding ``` How to use ---------- [](#how-to-use) ### Defining model namespaces [](#defining-model-namespaces) Laravel route model autobinding uses your `composer.json` PSR-4 autoload section to know which namespaces and paths to scan. In any new Laravel project, the default `App\\` namespace is already in place, so for most projects no additional setup required. If you have other namespaces registered like local modules or (dev) packages, those will be scanned too. ``` { "autoload": { "psr-4": { "App\\": "app/", "MyModule\\": "modules/MyModule/", "MyPackage\\": "MyPackage/src/" } } } ``` Furthermore it filters out traits, abstract classes, helper files, and other unusable items to only bind valid Eloquent models. ### Route segment variables [](#route-segment-variables) After installing the package, you can immediately get to work using the aliased Eloquent models in your routes: ``` Route::get('profile/{user}', ShowProfile::class); Route::get('orders/{order}', ShowOrder::class); Route::get('carts/{shoppingCart}', ShowShoppingCart::class); … ``` Besides scanning and aliasing your models for you, this package alters no native Laravel functionality. Therefore, see the Laravel documentation on how to use [route model injection](https://laravel.com/docs/5.6/routing#route-model-binding). ### Caching bindings in production [](#caching-bindings-in-production) To cache all bindings and speed up your application in production, add the cache command to your deploy scripts: ``` php artisan autobinding:cache ``` This scans all your current models and writes a static cache file to the `bootstrap/cache` directory. Upon subsequent framework booting, it reads the cache file instead of scanning and aliasing on-the-fly. Note that this thus **disables runtime scanning**, meaning new models will not be recognized and changes to existing models will not be reflected (not very handy during development). You can however still change the case type in the configuration file, as the binding happens in a later stage. To clear the cache file, run: ``` php artisan autobinding:clear ``` ### Configuration [](#configuration) Run ``` php artisan vendor:publish ``` and select ``` laravel-route-model-autobinding (configuration) ``` to publish the configuration file. #### Casing [](#casing) By default, the case type for aliasing models is set to *camel case*. You can change this to use camel, snake, or studly casing. See `\SebastiaanLuca\RouteModelAutobinding\CaseTypes` for possible options. Camel case (default): ``` Route::get('carts/{shoppingCart}', ShowShoppingCart::class); ``` Snake case: ``` Route::get('carts/{shopping_cart}', ShowShoppingCart::class); ``` Studly case: ``` Route::get('carts/{ShoppingCart}', ShowShoppingCart::class); ``` The case type can still be changed after caching your models.
