lumen-framework: Helper route() don't recognize optional params

You can use an optional route param but only at the end of the route. Lumen uses https://github.com/nikic/FastRoute so check that package out to see more about optional params.

This would work for only one optional param.

$app->post('/test[/{name}]', function($name = null, Request $request) {
});

I have a similar problem. But the above decision seems to me doubtful. Are there any progress in this problem?

the question stays on… you have the optional parameter:

$app->get('/test[/{name}]', ['as' => 'test', 'uses' => 'MyController@test']);

the issue’s title says: “Helper route()…” the thing is, if you try to use the helper route(), like:

route('test')
route('test', ['name' => 'myname'])

it supposed to return (like laravel’s optional param): “http://yourdomain.com/test” “http://yourdomain.com/test/myname”

but it’s returning: “http://yourdomain.com/test[/{name}]” “http://yourdomain.com/test[/myname]”

EDIT: @vinisouza if it would help, my solution for that problem, i’ve created two routes, with different names using the same controller action: $app->get('{status}/{key}', ['as' => 'nfe', 'uses' => 'NfeController@show']); $app->get('{status}/{key}/{format}', ['as' => 'nfe.format', 'uses' => 'NfeController@show']);

PS: dont forget to add a default value for $format in your controller: public function show(Request $request, $format = null) {}

@GrahamCampbell So there is no optional option for routes in Lumen? At least I can’t find anything in the documentation about it

@mstaack It’s not optional, right now it’s a required param. You need to add a question mark to make it optional

$app->get('{status}/{key}[/{format?}]', 'NfeController@show');
