Description

Hey everyone, I’m facing a problem with Laravel’s route model binding. I need to bind a Product model based on multiple conditions, not just a single column. Specifically, I want to retrieve the product based on both the sku and status fields, but it’s not working as expected.

I tried overriding the resolveRouteBinding method in the Product model like this:

php

public function resolveRouteBinding($value, $field = null) { return $this->where('sku', $value)->where('status', 'active')->first(); }

However, I keep getting a 404 error when I access the route with an inactive product or if the sku doesn't match exactly. I need some help understanding why this might be happening and if there's a better way to set up custom route bindings with multiple conditions. Thanks in advance!

Steps To Reproduce:

Define the resolveRouteBinding method in the Product model to bind using both sku and status fields.
In the route definition, use {product} as a parameter to bind the Product model to an endpoint.
Attempt to retrieve a product by sku with status set to active, and observe the 404 error when conditions aren’t met exactly.

Steps To Reproduce

The route should successfully bind the Product model when both sku and status conditions are met.

Hey! 👋 It sounds like you’re on the right track with using resolveRouteBinding, but there are a few things you might want to try to make it work more reliably:

Verify Your Route Definition: Make sure you’re defining the route correctly with the model type hint. For example:

php

Route::get('/product/{product}', [ProductController::class, 'show']);

Laravel should automatically use the resolveRouteBinding method based on your setup.

Debug the Binding Logic: Add a log inside resolveRouteBinding to verify what’s happening. Sometimes, conditions might not be met exactly as you expect:

php

public function resolveRouteBinding($value, $field = null) { \Log::info('Binding product with SKU: ' . $value); return $this->where('sku', $value)->where('status', 'active')->first(); }

This can help you track if sku and status conditions are matched correctly.

Alternative Approach Using RouteServiceProvider: You can define custom bindings directly in RouteServiceProvider, which might give you more flexibility:

php

public function boot()
{
    parent::boot();

    Route::bind('product', function ($value) {
        return Product::where('sku', $value)->where('status', 'active')->first();
    });
}

This approach allows you to define multiple conditions more explicitly.

Let me know if this helps, and feel free to share more details if it’s still not working. 😊
