Inject API Resources in controller. #935

Open montyclt opened 6 years ago

montyclt commented 6 years ago

Hello all!

I thought it might be a good idea to implicit inject an API Resource in Controller like model does.

public function show(UserResource $user)
{
    return $user;
}

When any User with the given ID exists, retrieve the model, and instance the type-hinted API resource. If any user with the ID exists, throws ModelNotFoundException.

What is your opinion?

No.

How would my UserListEntryResource even now to look for the User model? How would the model binding system connect the two?

If you (always) wanted to return an API resource, you might consider just using explicit route mode binding instead.
