How to use nested resources?

[dusp2k]

Hello,

I'm wondering how I can use nested resources?

The normal way is to define the deeper resources first, then define the higher resource after. But this can't be done using attributes because there is no order/priority.

Route::group(['prefix' => 'foo'], function() {
        Route::resource('/bar', Foo\BarController::class);
        Route::resource('/', FooController::class);
});

So: A request to /foo/bar must land in Foo\BarController. A request to /foo or /foo/(anything else than bar) must land in FooController.

Is there a way to do this?

I see this is the same issue as #130. Why was it closed?

I will give you example, how I do it:

First resource:

#[ApiResource(
    resource: 'categories',
    only: ['index', 'show', 'store', 'update', 'destroy'],
    names: 'api.admin.categories',
    shallow: true
)]
class CategoryController extends ApiController
{

which gives you

  GET|HEAD        api/admin/categories
  POST            api/admin/categories
  GET|HEAD        api/admin/categories/{category}
  PUT|PATCH       api/admin/categories/{category}
  DELETE          api/admin/categories/{category} 

Nested routes with standard CRUD actions:

#[ApiResource(
    resource: 'categories.sizes',
    only: ['index', 'show', 'store', 'update', 'destroy'],
    names: 'api.admin.categories.sizes',
    shallow: false
)]
final class SizeController extends ApiController
{

Which gives you:

  GET|HEAD        api/admin/categories/{category}/sizes
  POST            api/admin/categories/{category}/sizes
  GET|HEAD        api/admin/categories/{category}/sizes/{size}
  PUT|PATCH       api/admin/categories/{category}/sizes/{size}
  DELETE          api/admin/categories/{category}/sizes/{size}

Third level, what you have asked:

#[ApiResource(
    resource: 'categories/{category}/sizes/sequences',
    only: ['store'],
    names: 'api.admin.categories.sizes.sequences',
    shallow: false
)]
final class SequenceController extends ApiController
{

which will give you:

  POST            api/admin/categories/{category}/sizes/sequences 

It works in same manner, as you would add those routes using routes/*.php
