How to add prefix to Laravel route name

Question

My route is like this:

Route::resource('/admin/users', AppHttpControllersAdminUsersController::class);
Route::resource('/admin/posts', AppHttpControllersAdminPostsController::class);
Route::resource('/admin/categories', AppHttpControllersAdminCategoriesController::class);
Route::resource('/admin/media', AppHttpControllersAdminMediasController::class);
Route::resource('/admin/comment/replies', AppHttpControllersCommentRepliesController::class);
Route::resource('/admin/comments', AppHttpControllersPostCommentsController::class) ;

My route list is

GET|HEAD        admin/users/{user}/edit ......................... users.edit › AdminUsersController@edit  
GET|HEAD        api/user ...............................................................................

Is there a way to add a prefix to each route name admin.:

• users.index will be admin.users.index
• users.store will be admin.users.store

And so on for each resource route without doing this:

Route::resource('/admin/users', AppHttpControllersAdminUsersController::class, ['names'=>['index'=>'admin.users.index']]);

Surprised no duplicates were found, but you can simply use the method with Router::name(). Note that I did the same thing with the URL prefix using Router::prefix()method:

use App\Http\Controllers as C;

Route::name("admin.")->prefix("admin")->group(function ($router) {
    Route::resource('users', C\AdminUsersController::class);
    Route::resource('posts', C\AdminPostsController::class);
    Route::resource('categories', C\AdminCategoriesController::class);
    Route::resource('media', C\AdminMediasController::class);
    Route::resource('comment/replies', C\CommentRepliesController::class);
    Route::resource('comments', C\PostCommentsController::class) ;
});

It is important to note that while the prefix() method works on URL segments and therefore inserts slashes, name() is just a generic prefix and does not add any type separator. That's why I included the dot in the name.

If you prefer, you can use the $router parameter instead of the facade inside the closure. Which one you prefer is just a matter of personal preference. For example:

use App\Http\Controllers as C;

Route::name("admin.")->prefix("admin")->group(function ($router) {
    $router->resource('users', C\AdminUsersController::class);
    $router->resource('posts', C\AdminPostsController::class);
    $router->resource('categories', C\AdminCategoriesController::class);
    $router->resource('media', C\AdminMediasController::class);
    $router->resource('comment/replies', C\CommentRepliesController::class);
    $router->resource('comments', C\PostCommentsController::class) ;
});
