User a {id} inside a route on Laravel

I need to put a id number in the middle of an URL to get this:

http://myapp.com/something/29/edit

Now, I have this:

'user_link' => ['here.i.need.to.put.my.route.with.the.number]

My number comes from $event->data->id, is there a way to "concatenate" a number in the middle of a route? Something like

'user_link' => ['something.{id}.edit]
'user_link' => ['something.'.$event->data->id .'.edit] <-- I I do that Laravel shows an error: Route [something.{107}.edit] not defined

The route in question is:

Route::get('something/{id}/edit/', 'MyController@edit')->name('something.edit');

It's possible to put a {id} in the name of the route?

You shouldn't put an id in a route name. It's bad practice in my opinion. I would suggest that you use route resource.

php artisan make:resource MyController -m Something

This way, you can restful routes:

my/index
my/create
my/store
my/{something}/edit
my/{something}/update
my/{something}/show
my/{something}/destroy

By the above pattern, your edit route will be /my/10/edit, and you data will be automatically fetched.

This way you can use policies to determine that item currently being updated belongs to the logged in user.

You can use route() helper:

route('something.edit', ['id' => $event->data->id])
