Send parameter to controller via Laravel Route

Question

Given the following code, I simple want the second route to send an arbitrary value for id or any other variable I can access from within show();

Route::get('foo/{id}', 'FoobarController@show')->where('id', '[0-9]+');
Route::get('bar', 'FoobarController@show')->with('id', -1);    // This pseudo-code doesn't work. I want to send parameter id with an arbitrary value

You might just want to conditional call a method from within your controller after you check the value of id — Dov Benyomin Sohacheski

But in the second route how do I actually send the value of the id? — Gazzer

Have you tried in controller show method as an extra parameter named id something link this public function show($id=0){} ? — Chonchol Mahmud

Why not like this?

Routes:

Route::get('bar/{id?}', 'FoobarController@show')->where('id', '[0-9]+');

Controller:

class FoobarController extends Controller{
    public function show($id){
        $id = $id ? $id : "default value";
    }
}

Or:

public function show($id="default value"){..}
