Laravel 10 route create beautiful URL

To create a more user-friendly URL for showing trashed posts instead of using a query parameter like domain.com/posts?status=trashed, you can define a custom route that handles this scenario. You can do this by adding a route with a specific URI pattern and then updating your controller to handle the request appropriately.

Here’s how you can achieve this:

Define a custom route in your routes/web.php file:

Route::get('posts/trashed', [PostController::class, 'trashed'])->name('posts.trashed');

This route maps the URL domain.com/posts/trashed to a trashed method in your PostController. You can choose any URI segment you like, but in this example, I’m using trashed.

In your PostController, create a trashed method to handle the request:

public function trashed()
{
    $trashedPosts = Post::onlyTrashed()->get();

    return view('posts.trashed', compact('trashedPosts'));
}

In this example, the trashed method retrieves the soft-deleted posts and returns them to a view. You should customize this method according to your application’s requirements.

Create a view file (e.g., resources/views/posts/trashed.blade.php) to display the trashed posts.
Now, you can access the trashed posts by visiting the URL domain.com/posts/trashed. This provides a more user-friendly URL structure compared to using query parameters.
