FatalErrorException Call to a member function except() on null - php

Question

I am building a QA, and when i try to show a question, I am getting this error. FatalErrorException Call to a member function except() on null in web.php line 10
Here is the web.php code
Route::get('/home', 'HomeController#index')->name('home');
Route::resource('questions', 'QuestionsController')->except('show');
Route::get('/questions/{slug}', 'QuestionsController#show')->name('questions.show');
in the QuestionsController.php file the show function is
public function show(Question $question)
{
$question->increment('views');
return view('questions.show', compact('question'));
}
in addition, here is the view part when the question is displayed
<div class="card">
<div class="card-header">
<div class="d-flex align-items-center">
<h>{{ $question->title }} </h1>
<div class="ml-auto">
Back to all Questions
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="card-body">
{{ !! $question->body_html !! }}
</div>
</div>
so if my question is clear, how can I get rid of this error? Thank you for your help, Sirs!

Answer 1

Try to below code:
Route::resource('questions', 'QuestionsController', ['except' => ['show']]);

Answer 2

i think so it is because you should use find() or something elese first.
for example you should find question by id or slug or anything, then you can increment the field you want.
for example:
$question = Question::find(5)->increment('views');
or
$question = Question::where('url', '=', 'some value')->increment('views');

Answer 3

Correct your route. by following this sample code. Here is the official document you can check it [https://laravel.com/docs/5.4/controllers#resource-controllers]
Route::resource('questions', 'QuestionsController')->except(['show']);
Route::get('/questions/{slug}', 'QuestionsController#show')->name('questions.show');
