Is it possible to create an implicit route where if it is not found the thing is created? I am using Laravel 5.5.13.
For instance this is my implicit route:
Route::post('thumbs/{player}', 'ThumbController@store');
And in my controller it is this:
public function store(Request $request, Player $player)
{
$thumb = new Thumb($request->all());
$player->thumbs()->save($thumb);
return response()->json($thumb, 201);
}
So now if I go to the endpoint of ..../api/thumb/1 it will create a thumb related with Player of id 1. However instead of a id number I wanted to provide it a string like this:
..../api/thumb/PLAYER_NAME
So example of ..../api/thumb/Blagoh, then my endpoint should first find if a player exists by name "Blagoh", and if it doesn't then it should create it. I couldn't figure this one out.
