How can I get a route url pattern by route name in laravel?

So I have a route defined in my web.php, like so....

Route::any('/items/{id}/{slug}', 'Items\ItemController@item')->name('items.item');

I am trying to make a function where I can get the string pattern for the URL, '/items/{id}/{slug}' from the route by calling it's name...

I assumed this would work.. but it doesn't (it tells me I'm missing the parameters id and slug).

// Should assign the string 'items/{id}/{slug}' to the variable.
$url_pattern = route('items.item');

I'm using Laravel 5.3.

You can access the Route's uri as follows:

$url_pattern = app('router')->getRoutes()->getByName('items.item')->uri;
var_dump($url_pattern);
// will return:
// "items/{id}/{slug}"

You can always create a faux route. When you are invoking route(), one has to assume you know the params it expects.

If you would like to get it as a string (to be used in JS for example), just pass the names of the params as the params. For example:

$url_pattern = route('items.item', ['id' => '{id}', 'slug' => '{slug}']);
// will generate:
// items/{id}/{slug}

you need to add the parameters in the router function, for example:

$url_pattern = route('items.item', ['id' => $id, 'slug' => $slug]);
