No query results for model [App\Models\{model_name}] {method_name}

In the past, I saw a tweet from Taylor where he talked about the 'best practices' of using the 7 'RESTful' methods. Since then, I have been applying this idea. However, now I have encountered this behavior. Look below:

/routes/api.php

Scenario 1: The application returned error No query results for model [App\Models\{model_name}] {method_name}

...
Route::apiResource('receipts', ReceiptController::class)->names('api.receipts');

Route::delete('receipts/destroy-multiple', [DeleteMultipleController::class, 'destroy'])
            ->name('api.delete-multiple.destroy');
...

Scenario 2: The application works.

...
Route::delete('receipts/destroy-multiple', [DeleteMultipleController::class, 'destroy'])
            ->name('api.delete-multiple.destroy');

Route::apiResource('receipts', ReceiptController::class)->names('api.receipts');
...

My question: Is this behavior correct?

@ronaldaraujo Yes, this is expected behaviour. The apiResource method registers something like /receipts/{receipts} which would match any /receipts/* requests before your more explicit /receipts/destroy-multiple route, therefore you need to register it before the API resource routes.
