Custom route for edit method without ID in URL

I want to make a settings screen for my users, and I want the URL to be easy an memorable: domain.com/user/settings

I want this route to point use the UserController@edit method, however, the edit() method requires ID parameter.

Is there someway I can use user/settings URL without specifying the ID in the URL, but still use the same edit() method in the UserController?

The edit URL could be use without any parameter. In that case you can mention the user in controller.

Route

Route::get('user/settings');

Controller

public function edit()
{
    $user = Auth::user();
}

Seems like I managed to solve it?

web.php:

Route::get('user/settings', 'UserController@edit')->name('user.settings');
Route::resource('user', 'UserController');

UserController.php:

public function edit(User $user = null)
{
    $user = Auth::user();
}
