Access same url with different Controller and method for API - php

Question

I am currently working on API in laravel 5.6 and I would like versioning for APIs like v1 and v2.
my problem is I want to run one URL and access both API version, I am passing version number into HEADER and access API controller according to the version number. I am also using middle ware to check version number but not getting what I need.
Here is my web.php
Route::post('/api/getticktes/{id}', 'Api\v1\TicketController#show')->middleware('checkHeaderV1');
Header
version :- v1
version :- v2
My controller directory is
Controller
-Api
--v1
---TicketController.php
--v2
---TicketController.php

You can use this class, i have used it in my old project, may be it is not the efficient way but it will work
ApiVersion class
namespace App\Http;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
class ApiVersion
{
protected static $valid_api_versions = [
1 => 'v1',
2 => 'v2'
];
protected static function get($request)
{
$allApiVersions = array_keys(self::$valid_api_versions);
$latestVersion = $allApiVersions[count($allApiVersions) - 1];
$apiVersion = $request->header('api-version', $latestVersion);
return in_array($apiVersion, $allApiVersions) ? $apiVersion : $latestVersion;
}
protected static function getNamespace($apiVersion)
{
return 'Api\\' . self::$valid_api_versions[$apiVersion];
}
public static function versionNamespace()
{
$request = Request::capture();
return $apiNamespace = ApiVersion::getNamespace(self::get($request));
}
}
Now use this middleware in api routes file for namespace
//API routes
$versionNameSpace = ApiVersion::versionNamespace();
Route::group(['middleware' => ['api'], 'namespace' => "{$versionNameSpace}"], function () {
});
Add api-version in your request header. The value should be 1 or 2 etc
