Missing required parameters for [Route: photographers.edit] [URI: posts/edit/{photographers}]

I Get this error every time I create an edit button or even a button to view a particular post in my project.

Here’s my route code:

Route::get('/posts/edit/{photographers}', 'PhotographerController@edit')
    ->name('photographers.edit');

Here’s my edit function in the controller file :

public function edit(Photographer $photographer)
        {
            return view('photographers.edit', compact('photographer'));
        }

Here’s my view button route:

<a href="{{route('photographers.edit', $photographer)}}">Edit</a>

I read a lot of previous posts on this issue but didn’t really help me.

Answer

sometimes the dependency injection can be the cause of the error, you can use id as follows

public function edit($id)
    {
        $photographer = Photographer::find($id);

        return view('photographers.edit', compact('photographer'));
    }

I also noticed in your blade file, you are passing the entire $photographer as an argument, you only need to pass the id

<a href="{{route('photographers.edit', $photographer->id)}}">Edit</a>
