Laravel 5.4 rest controller with composite key table

[NigelRel3]

I've managed to sort of a simple REST test, which uses a standard model with a single field for the key.

I've also managed to get Eloquent to deal with composite key models.

Now I want to see how I can put them both together - in the simplest way possible! So i would like it to fit into the standard

Route::resource('/Bin', 'RestBinController');

This only seems to expect a single parameter and so if I try /api/Bin/1/2 it doesn't recognise the path.

I could split it out into the get/post... methods (and it may come down to this) but I wanted to check if I was missing something before I did this.

Looks like using dot notation will get you part of the way there.

Route::resource('bin/foo.bar', 'RestBinController');

❯ ./artisan route:list

Not exactly the /api/bin/1/2 you were describing but close, and perhaps a little more descriptive.

Oh wait. Composite keys. /api/bin/1/2 points to a single object. Disregard my earlier suggestion, then. I suspect resourceful controllers will fall short and you will need to be more declarative in your routing.
