Route group resources: second non-transparent parameter in the documentation

[marcelosb]

in https://laravel.com/docs/9.x/controllers#resource-controllers

You may even register many resource controllers at once by passing an array to the resources method:

Route::resources([
    'photos' => PhotoController::class,
    'posts' => PostController::class,
]);

However, there is a second parameter that is not clear
In documentation API: static void resources(array $resources, array $options = [])

What is the options parameter for?

it works?

Route::resources([
    'photos' => PhotoController::class,
    'posts' => PostController::class,
], ['except' => 'destroy']);

I clicked my way through the DocBlocks, and eventually ended up in PendingResourceRegistration.
You can see options being set from its constructor.

If you then look a few lines below, you can see that the various methods, like PendingResourceRegistration::except(), indeed sets that option.
So your assumption in your example seems to be correct. 🙂
Possibly that you may need to enclose 'destroy' in an array - ['except' => ['destroy']].

I guess one could say that it's used to set the typical options we normally call on 'singular routes', like Route::resource()->except(), but for when you do it on 'plural routes', like Route::resources().

Hello,

True, that's what I was thinking.

But, I think those responsible for the documentation could add this information from the options.

Thanks.
