how you doing, I have just started learning Laravel, and I have question about routing I have written this code

Route::get('/articles/{id}', function(Request $request, $id){
    return 'article id:' . $id;
});

Route::get('/articles/{id}', function($id){
    return 'article id:' . $id;
});


Route::get('/articles/{parameter}', function($id){
    return 'article id:' . $id;
});

the three previous routes give the same Result

and the next two routes give the same result as well


Route::get('/article/{id}', function(Request $request, $id){

    return view('article');
});


Route::get('/article/{id}', function(){
    return view('article');
});

So I do not under stand why should we pass request to routing function since it works without any need of adding the request,

Thanks In Advance.

routes request view php laravel

Passing the $request is optional and you don't even have to pass it, you can just use the request() helper instead.

If you do pass it, it uses Laravel automatic dependency injection.
