在使用隐式路由模型绑定时，如何获取ID，我需要在唯一验证中使用它

Question

// in the validation section "alias" field should be unique so i need this NursingHome object id(primary key) to force validation to not to check for this id.

I have checked it with $nursinghome->getKey() method but no success.

public function update(Request $request, NursingHome $nursinghome)
{
 $request->validate([
   'name' => 'required|string|max:255',
   'address' => 'nullable|string',
   'alias' => 'required|string|unique:nursing_home,'.$nursinghome->id,

]);

    $data = $request->all();
    $data['updated_by'] = Auth::guard('api')->id();
    $nursinghome->update($data);

    return response()->json($nursinghome, 200);
}

There is a know issue disscussed in laravel github , that if your model has two words like NursingHome the it is not injected in controller:

    public function update(Request $request, $id){

        $nursinghome = NursingHome::find($id); //now you will get $nursinghome->id

        $request->validate([
            'name' => 'required|string|max:255',
            'address' => 'nullable|string',
            'alias' => 'required|string|unique:nursing_home,'.$nursinghome->id,
        ]);

        $data = $request->all();
        $data['updated_by'] = Auth::guard('api')->id();
        $nursinghome->update($data);

        return response()->json($nursinghome, 200);
    }

If your model having two or more words, you have to use only small letters.
