Can I omit optional parameter in laravel routing?

Question

here's code:

Route::get('diagram', 'DiagramController@showDiagram');
Route::get('diagram/{type}', 'DiagramController@showDiagram');
Route::get('diagram/{type}/{template}', 'DiagramController@showDiagram');
Route::get('diagram/{type}/{template}/{offset}', 'DiagramController@showDiagram');

and here's how I want it to look like:

Route::get('diagram/{type}/{template}/{offset}', 'DiagramController@showDiagram');

Is there a way to tell Laravel that all of the above parameters don't have to be given in url? Or do I have to declare it like above in four lines?

You don't have to write four line for that, check the Routing documentation on Laravel.

So in your case, you could write

Route::get('diagram/{type?}/{template?}/{offset?}', 'DiagramController@showDiagram');

You just add a ? at the end of each optional parameters.
