Laravel provides some excellent helpers for setting up routes in your web application. And when building RESTful and resourceful applications in Laravel, there is a helper, Route::resource that makes it easy to create a whole set of routes to a controller that manages that resource.

However, many developers, myself included, think it is a better practice to explicity name all of the routes that would be covered by the Route::resource helper. But typing all of those routes is time consuming, so I created a simple Sublime Text snippet to help out with that.

<snippet>
    <content><![CDATA[
Route::get('${1:resource}', ['as' => '${1}.index', 'uses' => '${1/(.+)/\u\1/g}sController@index']);
Route::get('${1}/create', ['as' => '${1}.create', 'uses' => '${1/(.+)/\u\1/g}sController@create']);
Route::post('${1}', ['as' => '${1}.store', 'uses' => '${1/(.+)/\u\1/g}sController@store']);
Route::get('${1}/{${1}}', ['as' => '${1}.show', 'uses' => '${1/(.+)/\u\1/g}sController@show']);
Route::get('${1}/{${1}}/edit', ['as' => '${1}.edit', 'uses' => '${1/(.+)/\u\1/g}sController@edit']);
Route::put('${1}/{${1}}', ['as' => '${1}.update', 'uses' => '${1/(.+)/\u\1/g}sController@update']);
Route::patch('${1}/{${1}}', ['uses' => '${1/(.+)/\u\1/g}sController@update']);
Route::delete('${1}/{${1}}', ['as' => '${1}.destroy', 'uses' => '${1/(.+)/\u\1/g}sController@destroy']);
]]></content>

    <tabTrigger>r::r</tabTrigger>

    <scope>source.php</scope>
</snippet>

The snippet itself is triggered by r::r in php files and provides a quick way to create all your required routes for your resource, mapping to a controller of the same name.

To use the snippet, just download the gist and include it in the Packages\User directory of your Sublime Text installation.
