Extension for Laravel Router and ResourceRegistrar to handle softDeletes and simple delete without HTTP DELETE method

Laravel Extended Resource Registrar

![Software License][ico-license] , _(*1)

This is a package to extend the resource registrar with Laravel 5. It includes a ServiceProvider to register the new router., _(*2)

Installation

Require this package with composer. It is recommended to only require the package for development., _(*3)

composer require sjorsvanleeuwen/laravel-extended-resource-registrar

Laravel 5.5 uses Package Auto-Discovery, so doesn't require you to manually add the ServiceProvider., _(*4)

Make sure to change your app/Http/Kernel.php like so, _(*5)

/**
 * Get the route dispatcher callback.
 * Do this to make the new Router work
 *
 * @return \Closure
 */
protected function dispatchToRouter()
{
    $this->router = $this->app['router'];

    foreach ($this->middlewareGroups as $key => $middleware)
    {
        $this->router->middlewareGroup($key, $middleware);
    }

    foreach ($this->routeMiddleware as $key => $middleware)
    {
        $this->router->aliasMiddleware($key, $middleware);
    }

    return parent::dispatchToRouter();
}

THe reason for this addition: The default router is already bound and passed on to the kernel before other serviceproviders are loaded, the kernel does not know about the new Router and can not load the routes registered because they are registered with the new router and the kernel bound in public/index.php has the default router bound., _(*6)

Laravel 5.5+:

If you don't use auto-discovery, add the ServiceProvider to the providers array in config/app.php, _(*7)
