Limiting routing parameters for alphabets only in Laravel
We may use Regular Expression [[A-Za-z]+]+ to accept and parse out routing URL for alphabets only.
<?php
/*

| Here is where you can register all of the routes for an application.
| It's a breeze. Simply tell Laravel the URIs it should respond to
| and give it the controller to call when that URI is requested.

*/
// will return 'Hello project root' on browser request /laravel/public
Route::get('/', function()
{
return "Hello project root";
});
Route::get('person/{id}', function($id)
{
return "Person : " . $id;
})
->where('id', '[A-Za-z]+'); // using regular expression
Output
URL : laravel/public/person/aaaBB
Output : Person : aaaBB
