Laravel 5.5 Supplementing Resource Controllers example

Question

I have difficults to create a supplementing Resource in a controller laravel and insert it in the web.php for the routing.

I would to implement a search functions, in an Articles controller .Beyond the authomatic generated function like (index, show...) i have created another one:

public function search($title){ $articles = Article::findOrFail($title); return $articles; }

And I have added it in the web.php for the routing:

Route::resource('articles/{title}', 'ArticleController@search');

When I try to test this search, it doesn't work. All the implicit controller go well, I have problem only with this selfmade function.

How can I solve this issue?

thanks

Resource routes have to point to an (entire) resource controller, implementing the functions described in the docs. This way you try to point to 1 function search. — online Thomas

You need to add another route before resource one to make it work:

Route::get('articles/{title}', 'ArticleController@search');

You also want to change the query if you want to find an article by it's slug, for example:

$article = User::where('slug', $title)->first();
