How do I define an optional parameter in my Laravel routes?

I would like to define {id} an optional parameter in the following route:

Route::get('profile/edit/{id}', array('uses' => 'BusinessController@editProfile', 'as' => 'profile.edit'));

How can I do this and also define a default parameter if one isn't provided?

Route::get('profile/edit/{id?}', array('uses' => 'BusinessController@editProfile', 'as' => 'profile.edit'));

you can pass {id?} for optional parameters in your route.

Laravel will take it as a optional. it is called as a wild card in laravel

Just like the other answers, but as for the default part: I asked almost the same question a few days ago and the answer is:

Route::get('profile/edit/{id?}', array('uses' => 'BusinessController@editProfile', 'as' => 'profile.edit'))
    ->defaults('id', 'defaultValue');

The important things are

  • The questionmark
  • The defaults function

Just put a question mark after it in the route, and give it a default in the function:

Route::get('profile/edit/{id?}', ...
public function editProfile ($id = 123) { ... }
