Laravel Route Model Binding to Route::controller() - php

Question

I've got the following routes:
Route::controllers([
'auth' => 'Auth\AuthController',
'password' => 'Auth\PasswordController',
'admin' => 'AdminController',
'site' => 'SiteController'
]);
And then I've got the following method in the SiteController:
/**
* Get site details and pass to view
*
* #param Site $site
* #return mixed
* #internal param $site_id
*/
public function getDetails( Site $site )
{
return $site;
}
When I go to the URL site.com/site/details/13 it doesn't return the site object.
I've added $router->model( 'one', 'App\Site' ); into the RouteServiceProvider and it works, but what if later down the road I want to add another controller like this but use it for jobs, and use the getDetails method again and pass through the App\Job object? It will automatically send the App\Site model instead.
So is there a way I can prevent this from happening?

Answer 1

My limited knowledge of Laravel tells me you can't have a model/object as parameter in your route controller functions, and that you don't need something like $router->model( 'one', 'App\Site' ); to do this.
I'm assuming you'd want to do something like this:
As for your routes:
Route::controllers([
'auth' => 'Auth\AuthController',
'password' => 'Auth\PasswordController',
'admin' => 'AdminController',
'site' => 'SiteController',
'jobs' => 'JobController',
]);
In your SiteController:
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App/Site; //replace with namespace of model
public function getDetails($id)
{
//code for fetching the site object, depends on how your structure is,
//like $site = App\Site::find($id); etc
return $site;
}
Similarly, your JobController will be something like:
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App/Job; //replace with namespace of model
public function getDetails($id)
{
//code for fetching the job object, depends on how your structure is,
//like $job = App\Job::find($id); etc
return $job;
}
