Laravel 5 Route binding and Hashid - php

Question

I am using Hashid to hide the id of a resource in Laravel 5.
Here is the route bind in the routes file:
Route::bind('schedule', function($value, $route)
{
$hashids = new Hashids\Hashids(env('APP_KEY'),8);
if( isset($hashids->decode($value)[0]) )
{
$id = $hashids->decode($value)[0];
return App\Schedule::findOrFail($id);
}
App::abort(404);
});
And in the model:
public function getRouteKey()
{
$hashids = new \Hashids\Hashids(env('APP_KEY'),8);
return $hashids->encode($this->getKey());
}
Now this works fine the resource displays perfectly and the ID is hashed.
BUT when I go to my create route, it 404's - if I remove App::abort(404) the create route goes to the resource 'show' view without any data...
Here is the Create route:
Route::get('schedules/create', [
'uses' => 'SchedulesController#create',
'as' => 'schedules.create'
]);
The Show route:
Route::get('schedules/{schedule}', [
'uses' => 'Schedules Controller#show',
'as' => 'schedules.show'
]);
I am also binding the model to the route:
Route::model('schedule', 'App\Schedule');
Any ideas why my create view is not showing correctly? The index view displays fine.

Answer 1

Turns out to solve this, I had to rearrange my crud routes.
Create needed to come before the Show route...

There's a package that does exactly what you want to do: https://github.com/balping/laravel-hashslug
Also note, that it's not a good idea to use APP_KEY as salt because it can be exposed.
Using the above package all you need to do is add a trait and typehint in controller:
class Post extends Model {
use HasHashSlug;
}
// routes/web.php
Route::resource('/posts', 'PostController');
// app/Http/Controllers/PostController.php
public function show(Post $post){
return view('post.show', compact('post'));
}
