Two slashes in url with optional parameters in Laravel 5

Question

I want to create Users`s shop in my application. Default urls are:

site.com/cars
site.com/parts

If user create own shop urls viewed like this:

site.com/user_name/cars
site.com/user_name/parts

And if user do not create store, parameter {user_name} is empty and urls viewed like:

site.com//cars
site.com//parts

How can I create routes or middlewares for this?

Thank you.

UPD:

My routes

Route::group(['domain' => 'site.com'], function () {

    Route::group(['prefix' => LaravelLocalization::setLocale(), 'middleware' => ['localeSessionRedirect', 'localizationRedirect', 'maintenance_mode']], function()
    {
        Route::group(['prefix' => '{store_name?}', 'namespace' => 'UserOnlineShop', 'middleware' => ['online_shop_tarif']], function(){
            Route::get('/', ['as' => 'user_store.home', 'uses' => 'HomeController@index']);
            Route::get('parts/', ['as' => 'parts.index', 'uses' => 'PartsViewController@all_parts']);
            Route::get('catalog/cars_for_parts', ['as' => 'catalog.auto_brands', 'uses' => 'AutoCatalogController@auto_brands']);
        });
    });
});

I'd suggest you create separate routes for routes with a user_name and without. Can you show us how your routes are defined? — michaeltintiuc, Dec 12 '16 at 14:14
@nozzleman I don't think separate controllers are needed, especially if they're handling the data in the same way and only the way the routes are shown change. — michaeltintiuc, Dec 12 '16 at 14:18
@michaeltintiuc you may be right, however, OP should post more details for this to become obvious. I was referring to the route-structure which i would realize using a resource controller for each, *cars* and *parts* and nested resource controlles for the nested routes. — nozzleman, Dec 12 '16 at 14:26
Having the same problem, and still getting two slashes - even though in the controller I assign `null` by default... — Yuval A., Apr 11 '20 at 13:06

I think what your looking for is this:

Route::get('site.com/{user_name?}/cars', function ($user_name = null){

       return view
});

The ? makes the user_name oprional and the null is needed and can be any other default value.

For what your asking (using named controllers) you may do it this way. Add this to your route group:

Route::get('site.com/{user_name?}/cars', ['as' => 'site.cars', 'uses' => 'CarController@car_names']);

Then in controller do:

public function car_names($user_name = null){

    return view;
}

I specify route names for controller actions (see UPD section in my first message). I think you solution don`t work for me – halenharper Dec 13 '16 at 06:33
