具有相同参数但命名路径不同的URL

Question

i have two URL'S one is

Route::get(
        '/{cat}/{slug}',
        [
            'uses' => 'User\UserEndController@category',
            'as'=>'showCategory',
            'middleware'=>'web'
        ]
    );

and other one is this

Route::get(
        '/{mostParentCat}/{performerSlug}',
        [
            'uses' => 'User\UserEndController@performerWithoutParent',
            'as'=>'performerWithoutParent',
            'middleware'=>'web'
        ]
    );

both of them get two parameters after slash i have to redirect them to different functions. i know that's not a good way to use same routes but that's a client requirement

Answer 1

If this is a client requirement and you can't do nothing else, I would create a single route

'/{cat}/{slug}'

and link it to an action which responsibility is to check what kind of behaviour you need .

Once you understand what do you need, you could use two different classes (one for the '/{cat}/{slug}' combination, and one for the /{mostParentCat}/{performerSlug} ).

Take a look, also, to the strategy design pattern . It could help you.

Hope it helps :)
