Route::morph() for commentable / likeable packages

[dillingham]

Route::macro('morph', function($models, $callable) {
  
    foreach($models as $model) {
        $name = class_basename($model);
        $base = Str::plural($name)."/{$name}";
        Route::prefix($base)->name("$name.")->group($callable);
    }
});

Route::morph([ \App\User::class ], function() {
  Route::get('comments', 'CommentController@index')->name('comments.index');
});

Produces /users/1/comments / user.comments.index

Useful to store morphable models in a package's config

• "like" package users/{user}/likes

• "comment" package users/{user}/comments

• Can't you just do Route::prefix('/users/{user}')->group(?
• Wouldn't this be more aligned with Laravel's nomenclature (as well as the possible to use morph relationship methods instead of string helpers)?

Route::morphs([
    'commentable' => [
        \App\User::class => 'CommentController@index',
        \App\Post::class => 'CommentController@postList',
    ],
    'likable' => [
        \App\User::class => 'CommentController@index',
        \App\Comment::class => 'CommentController@commentList',
    ],
]);

You're going to have to ask me 3 years ago to know what I was thinking

Fair enough 😅
