laravel 5 slug will not return pages

I try to get my route without any additional parameter in url and i'm getting Sorry, the page you are looking for could not be found. error.

If I use url like: domain/category/lenovo where lenovo is my slug it's working. But if I try to get my url like: domain/lenovo I'm gettin error above.

here is my codes:

route

Route::get('/{categoryslug}', 'frontend\FrontendController@totalcategoriessubs')->name('catwithsubs')->where('categoryslug', '[\w\d\-\_]+');

function

public function totalcategoriessubs($categoryslug) {
    $categories = Category::where('slug','=',$categoryslug)->with('subcategories')->paginate(12);
    return view('front.categoriessubs', compact('categories'));
  }

it also brakes my other urls such as domain/admin/dashboard etc.

any idea?

It seems that is caused by the order of your routes.

Your actual problem is that when you hit a fixed endpoint, for example /dashboard this will be handled by Route::get('/{categoryslug}', ...) before the correct endpoint (Route::get('dashboard', ...)). So, as your system notices that there is no category with that slug (dashboard) it throws the error.

Try change the order of your routes, like this:

Route::get('/category/{categorySlug}', 'CategoryController@index');
Route::get('/dashboard', 'DashboardController@home');
// and so on..

Route::get('/{categoryslug}', 'frontend\FrontendController@totalcategoriessubs')
        ->name('catwithsubs')->where('categoryslug', '[\w\d\-\_]+');

Always put the routes that have fixed parts (.../category/...)of the route before the ones that have dynamic elements (.../{categoryslug}/).
