Laravel 10: advanced patterns in route model binding with custom keys
I'm maintaining legacy code that I'm getting frustrated with I'm experiencing issues with route model binding in Laravel 10 when I use a custom key instead of the default `id`. I have a model `Post` and I want to bind it to a route using a `slug` instead of an `id`. My route definition looks like this: ```php Route::get('/posts/{post:slug}', [PostController::class, 'show']); ``` However, when I navigate to `/posts/my-first-post`, I'm getting a `ModelNotFoundException`. I've ensured that the `slug` is unique and set up correctly in the database. In my `Post` model, I have the following: ```php class Post extends Model { protected $fillable = ['title', 'slug', 'content']; public function getRouteKeyName() { return 'slug'; } } ``` I initially thought the `getRouteKeyName()` method was enough to instruct Laravel to use `slug` for route binding. I've also checked that the `slug` column is indexed in the database to optimize performance. Still, it's not working as expected. Additionally, I've tried explicitly querying the model in the controller like this: ```php public function show(Post $post) { return view('posts.show', compact('post')); } ``` But it still throws the same exception. I've also cleared the route cache with `php artisan route:clear` just to be sure it's using the latest routes. Is there something I'm missing here, or is there a limitation with route model binding when using custom fields in Laravel 10? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated! I recently upgraded to Php 3.11. Is this even possible? For context: I'm using Php on Windows 10. I'm using Php 3.11 in this project. Am I approaching this the right way?
