rules
think about i will create 20 model ,migration & controller by cmd... i will not change edit,show and update function variable ...how i will know the default url for 20 model and controller ?
Laravel is an opinionated framework. It follows certain conventions
Let us understand a route parts
Route::match(
['PUT', 'PATCH'],
'/question-answer/{questionAnswer}',
[QuestionAnswerController::class, 'update']
)->name('question-answers.update')
In the above route:
1st argument: ['PUT', 'PATCH'] are the methods which the route will try to match for an incoming request
2nd argument: '/question-answer/{questionAnswer}' is the url wherein
/question-answer is say the resource name and
{questionAnswer} is the route parameter name
3rd argument: [QuestionAnswerController::class, 'update'] is the controller and the action/method which will be responsible to handle the request and provide a response
When you create a model via terminal using
php artisan make:model QuestionAnswer -mc -r
It will create a resource controller for the 7 restful actions and take the method parameter name for show, edit, update and delete routes as camel case of the model name i.e. $questionAnswer
class QuestionAnswerController extends Controller
{
public function show(QuestionAnswer $questionAnswer){}
public function edit(QuestionAnswer $questionAnswer){}
public function update(Request $request, QuestionAnswer $questionAnswer){}
public function delete(QuestionAnswer $questionAnswer){}
}
Which means if you don't intend to change the parameter name in the controller methods then you can define the routes as below to get the benefit of implicit route model binding
//Will generate routes with resource name as questionAnswer
//It would not be considered a good practice
Route::resource('questionAnswer', QuestionAnswerController::class);
//OR
Route::resource('question-answer', QuestionAnswerController::class)->parameters([
'question-answer' => 'questionAnswer'
]);
//OR
Route::resource('foo-bar', QuestionAnswerController::class)->parameters([
'foo-bar' => 'questionAnswer'
]);
RFC 3986 defines URLs as case-sensitive for different parts of the URL. Since URLs are case sensitive, keeping it low-key (lower cased) is always safe and considered a good standard.
As you can see, you can name the url resource anything like foo-bar or question-answer instead of questionAnswer and yet keep the route parameter name as questionAnswer to match the Laravel convention when generating controller via php artisan make:model QuestionAnswer -mc -r and without having to change the parameter name in controller methods.
Laravel is an opinionated framework which follows certain conventions:
Route parameter name ('questionAnswer') must match the parameter name in controller methods ($questionAnswer) for implicit route model binding to work
Controller generated via artisan commands, have parameter name as camelCase of the model name
Routes generated via Route::resource('posts', PostController::class) creates routes with resource name equal to the first argument of the method and route parameter name as the singular of the first argument
Route::resource() provides flexibility to use a different name for route resource name and route parameter name

If you want to know how the php artisan make:model works you can study the code in vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Foundation/Console/ModelMakeCommand.php and have a look at the various stubs these commands use to generate the files.
For almost all artisan commands you will find the class files with code in
vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Foundation/Console and the stubs used by the commands to generate files in vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Foundation/Console/stubs folder.
If you study these command classes properly then you will get an idea of the various conventions Laravel follows when generating files via the artisan commands
