(Explicit Binding) Customizing The Resolution Logic & Customizing The "Not Found" Behavior - php

Question

To explicitly bind a parameter to a model and throwing a custom exception I have to (among other things) add the following to the RouteServiceProvider:
$router->model('parameter', 'App\Model', function () {
throw new CustomNotFoundException;
});
To customize the resolution logic of the explicit binding I have to add the following to the RouteServiceProvider:
$router->bind('parameter', function ($parameter) {
return App\Model::where('field', $parameter)->first();
});
My problem is that I need both but apparently can't. If I bind the parameter to the model and also customize the resolution logic it won't throw my CustomNotFoundException, instead it will throw the default ModelNotFoundException.
To clearly summarize my objective: I want to customize the resolution logic and throw a custom exception if it fails to find a record.
EDIT I have tried this as per a suggestion from #Maraboc:
$router->bind('parameter', function ($parameter) {
try {
return App\Model::where('field' => $parameter)->first();
} catch (Exception $e) {
throw new CustomNotFoundException;
}
});
This will still throw a ModelNotFoundException for a reason I'm not aware.

Try it like this :
$router->bind('parameter', function ($parameter) {
try {
return App\Model::where('field' => $parameter)->firstOrFail();
} catch (ModelNotFoundException $e) {
throw new CustomNotFoundException;
}
});
OR in the App\Exceptions\Handler add this to the render method :
if ($e instanceof ModelNotFoundException) {
throw new CustomNotFoundException;
}
And use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\ModelNotFoundException as ModelNotFoundException;
OR an other workaround is to do like so :
$router->bind('parameter', function ($parameter) {
$model = App\Model::where('field' => $parameter)->first();
if ( ! $model) {
throw new CustomNotFoundException;
}
return $model;
});
