Grouping routes to a controller in one step

[olivervogel]

I like the array syntax for mapping Controller methods to routes. I noticed I have to repeat the controller for every single route. I was thinking it would be cool, if we can group a whole block of routes to a controller in one step (See example below).

What do you think?

// instead of doing this
Route::get('foo', [BlogController::class, 'getFoo']);
Route::get('bar', [BlogController::class, 'getBar']);
Route::get('baz', [BlogController::class, 'getBaz']);

// i was thinking, it would be cool, if we can do this
Route::controller(BlogController::class)->group(function () {
    Route::get('foo', 'getFoo');
    Route::get('bar', 'getBar');
    Route::get('baz', 'getBaz');
});

I think that this part of documentation would be helpful: https://laravel.com/docs/8.x/controllers#restful-partial-resource-routes
