Laravel Multiple Route in SameController

Question

Route::get('/blog', 'BlogController@index')->name('blog');
Route::get('/blog/tag/{tag}', 'BlogController@index')->name('blog');
Route::get('/blog/category/{category}', 'BlogController@index')->name('blog');

I want to redirect different urls to same controller.

If the user filter for tag, send me link like : blog/tag/sample-tag

Or category : blog/category/sample-category

Or if user wants to see all blog : blog

I want to check in BlogController's index method like :

if ($request->has('tag') // return tag's blog content
else if ($request->has('category') // return category's blog content
else // return all blog content.

Laravel 5.6.*

Error:

Missing required parameters for [Route: blog] [URI: blog/category/{category}]

I call like this : <li><a href="{{ route('blog') }}">BLOG</a></li>

While you could use the same controller, I wouldn't recommend using the same route name or the same controller method. Why do the second two need to use the index method? — Devon Bessemer

should i create another controller for tag and category? @Devon — Nevermore

If you want to filter a resource index its better to use the query string, i.e: /blog?tag=laravel&category=programming — dparoli

It is better to sperate your routes into different controller method

// Define routes
Route::get('/blog', 'BlogController@index')->name('blog');
Route::get('/blog/tag/{tag}', 'BlogController@tag')->name('blog.tag');
Route::get('/blog/category/{category}', 'BlogController@category')->name('blog.category');

// Generate url
route('blog');
route('blog.tag', ['tag' => $tag]);
route('blog.category', ['category' => $category]);

You can use Route::get('/blog/{second?}/{third?}','BlogController@index')->where(['second'=>'tag|category']);

It is better to separate your routes but you can do this by injecting the model into your method like this code:

public function index (?Tag $tag, ?Category $category)
{
    if($tag->exists){
       ....
    }
    if($category->exists){
       ....
    }
}
