Laravel 5: route optional parameter issue

Question

I want to have second param as optional one.

Routes:

Route::get('/offers/preview/{id}/{string?}', 'OfferController@preview');

Controller:

public function preview($id, $string)
{
    // some code
}

Calling "offers/preview/101/test" looks ok.

Error by calling "offers/preview/101"

ErrorException in OfferController.php line 53:
Missing argument 2 for App\Http\Controllers\OfferController::preview()

Thank you in advance.

add default value for $string in your function. (eg. $string = '') — kdlcruz

You need to add default value for the optional paramaters

public function preview($id, $string = '')
{
   // some code
}
