Laravel force delete generates NotFoundHttpException - php

Question

I have read as many posts as possible, but none of them can solve my problem.
The route:
Route::model('user', 'User');
Route::group(array('prefix' => 'admin'), function() {
Route::get('users/force-delete/{user}', array(
'as' => 'admin-users-force-delete',
'uses' => 'AdminController#handleUserForceDelete'
));
});
The html:
<li>Force Delete</li>
The handler:
public function handleUserForceDelete(User $user)
{
$username_tmp = $user->username;
$message = 'Success! User ' . $username_tmp . ' has been deleted.';
if($user->trashed())
{
$user->forceDelete();
return Redirect::action('AdminController#showUsers')->with('message', $message);
} else {
return Redirect::action('AdminController#showUsers')->with('message', 'User deletion error! Please try again!');
}
}
I tried to put delete and force-delete at the same handler, and the delete action took place but force-delete generated NotFoundHttpException. So I guess the problem is from the force-delete action??

Answer 1

I solved it!
For anyone with the same trouble, soft deleted user(or anything) will not generate an instance passed to the handler (or closure). Therefore, for this case I manually create an instance.
So instead of using this:
//will not handle soft deleted model.
Route::model('user', 'User');
Use this:
Route::bind('user', function($value, $route)
{
return User::withTrashed()->where('id', '=', $value)->first();
});
