Laravel - Controllers - Customizing Missing Model Behavior

Typically, a 404 HTTP response will be generated if an implicitly bound resource model is not found. However, you may customize this behavior by calling the missing method when defining your resource route. The missing method accepts a closure that will be invoked if an implicitly bound model can not be found for any of the resource's routes:

    
    use App\Http\Controllers\PhotoController;
    use Illuminate\Http\Request;
    use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Redirect;
    
    Route::resource('photos', PhotoController::class)
            ->missing(function (Request $request) {
                return Redirect::route('photos.index');
            });
