What is advanced route model binding in Laravel?

Advanced route model binding in Laravel allows you to automatically inject model instances into your routes based on the route parameters.

Can you give me an example of how to implement it?

Sure! You can define a route like this: Route::get('/users/{user}', 'UserController@show'); and Laravel will automatically resolve the User model based on the ID in the URL.

What if I want to use a different column instead of the ID?

You can customize the key used for binding by overriding the getRouteKeyName method in your model. For example, if you want to use the 'username' column, you would return 'username' from that method.

Are there any performance considerations I should be aware of?

Yes, using route model binding can improve performance by reducing the number of queries needed to fetch models, but be mindful of eager loading related models to avoid N+1 query issues.
