Laravel 5.6. Route model bindung

Question

Hello I'm trying to create own laravel package it has two Controller resource, which have single controller and model Post

    Route::resource('posts', \vendor\package\Controllers\PostsController::class);
    Route::resource('categories', \vendor\package\Controllers\PostsController::class);

My method in the PostsController is show(Post $post)

If I open link http://localhost/posts/1, attributes element of $post is not empty in the show method.

But when I open link http://localhost/categories/1, attributes element of $post is empty.

How can I get Post data for resource categories?

P.S. difference between posts and categories is value of column post_type in the DB.

You can define what the route parameter will be named for the generated routes when using resource routing.

This should be the only change you need to make:

Route::resource(
    'categories', 
    \vendor\package\Controllers\PostsController::class,
    ['parameters' => ['categories' => 'post']]
);

Now the route parameter is post:

GET categories/{post}
GET categories/{post}/edit
...
