pass parameter to controller from route in laravel

Question

How can I pass parameter to a controller from a route in laravel?

This is my route:

Route::get('/{slug}','SampleController@showCms');

This is my controller function:

public function showCms($slug){}

I want to route '/' also from this slug:

route(Route::get('/{slug}','SampleController@showCms'))

How can this be accomplished?

What is route(Route::get('/{slug}','SampleController@showCms')) supposed to be? Both routes are the same, what exactly are you trying to do? — Quasdunk

Ok, but what do you want to do? What is the problem? Is your solution not working as expected? I'm not sure I understand your question... — Quasdunk

Exactly, i don't see any problem. Just pass /{some-data} and return $slug from your controller. It should work — IamGhale

If you do

Route::get('{slug?}','SampleController@showCms');

Both

http://site.dev/

and

http://site.dev/this-is-my-slug

Will cause a hit on your controller

public function showCms($slug = null) { if ($slug) { /// you got a slug here } }
