regex - Regular expression route constraint for a resource route -

laravel offers possibility add regular expression constraint route this:

route::get('user/{name}', function($name) {     // }) ->where('name', '[a-za-z]+'); 

it possible create multiple routes resource:

route::resource('photo', 'photocontroller'); 

i want add regular expression constraint route get /photo/{id}

is possible?

as far know can't may mimic using (route filtering):

public function __construct() {     $this->beforefilter('checkparam', array('only' => array('getedit', 'postupdate'))); } 

this example of route filtering using constructor , here i've filtering 2 methods (you may use except or nothing @ all) , declared filter in filters.php file given below:

route::filter('checkparam', function($route, $request){     // 1 default name first parameter     $param1 = $route->parameter('one');     if(!preg_match('/\d/', $param1)) {         app::abort(404);         // or 1         throw new symfony\component\httpkernel\exception\notfoundhttpexception;     } }); 

here, i'm checking first parameter manually (parameters method returns array of parameters passed route) , if it's not digit throwing notfoundhttpexception exception.

you may catch exception registering handler this:

app::missing(function($exception){     // show user friendly message or whatever... });
