Dynamic urls in laravel?

For Laravel 4 do this

Route::get('{slug}', function($slug) {    $page = Page::where('slug', '=', $slug)->first();    if ( is_null($page) )        // use either one of the two lines below. I prefer the second now        // return Event::first('404');        App::abort(404);    return View::make('pages.show', array('page' => $page));});// for controllers and viewsRoute::get('{page}', array('as' => 'pages.show', 'uses' => 'PageController@show'));

You could use the route wildcards for the job, you can start with an (:any) and if you need multiple url segments add an optional (:all?), then identify the page from the slug.

For example:

Route::get('(:any)', function($slug) {    $page = Page::where_slug($slug)->first();    if ( is_null($page) )        return Event::first('404');    return View::make('page')->with($page);});

Very similar to Charles' answer, but in the controller:

public function showBySlug($slug) {    $post = Post::where('slug','=',$slug)->first();    // would use app/posts/show.blade.php    return View::make('posts.show')->with(array(          'post' => $post,    ));}

Then you can route it like this:

Route::get('post/{slug}', 'PostsController@showBySlug')    ->where('slug', '[\-_A-Za-z]+');`

...which has the added bonus of allowing you an easy way to link straight to the slug routes on an index page, for example:

@foreach ($posts as $post)    <h2>{{ HTML::link(        action('PostsController@showBySlug', array($post->slug)),        $post->title    )}}</h2>@endforeach
