I’m using apiResource using Postman I try to get a specific item ("services"), update and delete by API controller but does not work and returns null values.
Here are the details:
Services model
<?php
namespace AppModels;
use IlluminateDatabaseEloquentFactoriesHasFactory;
use IlluminateDatabaseEloquentModel;
class Services extends Model
{
use HasFactory;
protected $fillable= [
'Service','Added_By'
];
}
ServiceController
<?php
namespace AppHttpControllersApi;
use AppHttpControllersController;
use AppModelsServices;
use AppHttpRequestsStoreServicesRequest;
use AppHttpRequestsUpdateServicesRequest;
use AppHttpResourcesServiceResource;
class ServiceController extends Controller
{
/**
* Display a listing of the resource.
*/
public function index()
{
dd(ServiceResource::collection((Services::query()->orderBy('id','desc')->paginate(10))));
return ServiceResource::collection((Services::query()->orderBy('id','desc')->paginate(10))) ;
}
/**
* Store a newly created resource in storage.
*/
public function store(StoreServicesRequest $request)
{
$data=$request->validated();
$service=Services::create($data);
return response(new ServiceResource($service),201);
}
/**
* Display the specified resource.
*/
public function show(Services $services)
{
dump($services);
return new ServiceResource($services);
}
/**
* Update the specified resource in storage.
*/
public function update(UpdateServicesRequest $request, Services $services)
{
$data=$request->validated();
$services->update($data);
return new ServiceResource($services);
}
/**
* Remove the specified resource from storage.
*/
public function destroy(Services $services)
{
$services->delete();
return response("", 204);
}
}
UpdateServiceRequest
<?php
namespace AppHttpRequests;
use IlluminateFoundationHttpFormRequest;
class UpdateServicesRequest extends FormRequest
{
/**
* Determine if the user is authorized to make this request.
*/
public function authorize(): bool
{
return true;
}
/**
* Get the validation rules that apply to the request.
*
* @return array<string, IlluminateContractsValidationValidationRule|array<mixed>|string>
*/
public function rules(): array
{
return [
"Service"=>"required",
"Added_By"=>"nullable",
];
}
}
API route
<?php
use AppHttpControllersapiapiController;
use AppHttpControllersApiServiceController;
use AppHttpControllersApiUserController;
use AppHttpControllersAuthController;
use IlluminateHttpRequest;
use IlluminateSupportFacadesRoute;
/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| API Routes
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| Here is where you can register API routes for your application. These
| routes are loaded by the RouteServiceProvider and all of them will
| be assigned to the "api" middleware group. Make something great!
|
*/
Route::middleware('auth:sanctum')->group(function(){
Route::post('/logout',[AuthController::class,'logout']);
Route::get('/user', function (Request $request) {
return $request->user();
});
Route::apiResource('/users', UserController::class);
Route::apiResource("/services",ServiceController::class);
});
Route::post('login',[AuthController::class,'login']);
Route::post('register',[AuthController::class,'register']);
<?php
namespace AppHttpResources;
use IlluminateHttpRequest;
use IlluminateHttpResourcesJsonJsonResource;
class ServiceResource extends JsonResource
{
/**
* Transform the resource into an array.
*
* @return array<string, mixed>
*/
public function toArray(Request $request): array
{
return [
"id"=>$this->id,
"Service"=>$this->Service,
"Added_By"=>$this->Added_By,
"Date"=>$this->created_at,
];
}
}
When I try to get a specific service via Postman by http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/services/1 but gives me:
{
"id": null,
"Service": null,
"Added_By": null,
"Date": null
}
Same result when trying updating.
Also nothing is deleting when trying.
Notice that for index and store methods is working fine.

In your routes, ensure you are using the correct parameter for binding:
This happens because you named the variable "$services". Laravel is looking to bind to
$service
(/services/{service}).More information here: (https://laravel.com/docs/11.x/controllers#restful-naming-resource-route-parameters)
Your index and store routes work fine because they don’t require a parameter.
