Laravel Exceptions "Trick": Route Model Binding and Model Not Found

In this video, I will improve an example I found on Twitter: we will replace a Service class with Route Model Binding, and process the exception for various Models.

Very nice explanation and good scenario solving about Model Bind Implementation catch Exception

[@dmytro.seredinov]

One minor 'improvement': instead of manually matching the Model class, we could do something like 'class_basename($e->getModel())' so the output will be identical.
Cheers, Dmytro Seredinov.

Welcome back Sir ! Happy to see you in good shape 💪

[@pierdocks5412]

Great example, I was just getting to that question on how to. Thank you .

[@abhiyustho6247]

Rather than using match, we can use get_class to get the current model class, then explode by / and get the last array which is contain the model name. So we dont need add manually model name again 🙏.

Hello, I wanted to start by thanking you for all of the amazing content that you've put out so far. Your tutorials have been incredibly helpful in my journey to learn Laravel! I was wondering if you might consider making some more videos specifically focused on Laravel Breeze in the future? I'm eager to learn more, and I know that your insights would be invaluable.

[@LaravelDaily]

What exactly would be your questions about Breeze? It's a simple starter kit, and then you build custom code on top. I have a lot of content about Breeze on laraveldaily.com: laraveldaily.com/tag/auth-breeze

[@ZamirMubashir]

Cool

[@JohnnyBigodes]

I like the improvements but I am not sure if everything is correct. In the tweet the guy is using a repository pattern to retrieve the user and you are suggesting to retrieve the user directly from a model. These are different things. Besides that I like the way you handle exceptions are it should be like you did.

[@AndreiAndrei-ln8xb]

Welcome back, I missed your videos.
Not a big fan of series of video on same subject ex Livewire.

[@LaravelDaily]

Yeah, me too, Livewire series was just because I had been traveling and didn't have THAT many videos shot in advance.

Good morning

I have typically stayed away from route model binding so I can eagerload it in a single query making the binding not needed. Its personal preference obviously but can save you if you didn't index said column for the bind and its a slower query. If any at all disagree with this please shoot me down 🤣

[@LaravelDaily]

You can load relationship later, with $model->load(relationship name) if I understood you correctly

[@SanderCokart]

@@LaravelDaily no not exactly, I use a where clause while using ::with() instead of whereBelongTo(Model $binding)

[@SanderCokart]

@@LaravelDaily so instead of Model $model as method params you'd have normal int|string $id|$somethingElse

[@LaravelDaily]

Interesting. Well if it works for you, cool!

[@user-rj7du7rb5n]

i was use routeServiceProvider: public function boot()
{
parent::boot();
Route::bind('user', function ($value) {
return User::where('user_name', $value)->first() ?? abort(404);
});
} and in the controller i have public function index(User$user)
{
}

[@kkodingg]

I'm surprised that php has the match keyword. I initially thought it only exists in rust.

[@MiguelAngelSS4]

I like all this improvements, but I feel that something is missed: what if you have an API inside the project? You probably want a json response, not a view for this 404 error.

[@elomenaidise5229]

Yes that can also be handled same way by simply checking if it expects json.

[@MiguelAngelSS4]

I think this could be done by something like this:
public function render($request, Throwable $exception)
{
if ($exception instanceof ModelNotFoundException) {
if ($request instanceof Request) {
return response()->view('web.error', [], Response::HTTP_NOT_FOUND);
} elseif ($request instanceof JsonResponse) {
return response()->json(['message' => 'Model not found.'], Response::HTTP_NOT_FOUND);
}
}
return parent::render($request, $exception);
}

[@saytama95]

not recommend to do it

[@upravdelami]

Hi, for the "Advanced Laravel Livewire" playlist, please tell me how to set focus to another element (select or text field) after button click or parent select change. In your "2-Level Parent-Child Dependent Dropdowns" example, after selecting "Country" the "City" select is not autofocused. I want to have fewer mouse clicks.
And thank you very much for your daily work.
