Laravel : create hierarchical route for category


I'm implementing category structure , some products would have one level category but other may have two or more level :

/posts/cat2/post-sulg

/posts/cat-1/sub-1/post-slug

/posts/cat-3/sub../../../post-slug

as i dont know how depth it would be and using category slugs is only for seo (i find post only by its slug) what is the best way to create a route to handle this structure?


Solution

  • You can solve this with:

    Route::get('posts/{categories}', 'PostController@categories')
        ->where('categories','^[a-zA-Z0-9-_\/]+$');
    

    And then in controller

    class PostController
    {
        public function categories($categories)
        {
            $categories = explode('/', $categories);
            $postSlug = array_pop($categories)
    
            // here you can manage the categories in $categories array and slug of the post in $postSlug
            (...)
        }
    
    }
