Resourceful Controller Named Routes Confusion

[JeffreyWay]

Let's say that you create a resourceful controller for photos.

Route::resource('photos', 'PhotosController');

Laravel will then automatically create the necessary named routes, like photos.index, photos.show, etc.

The only confusion (unless I'm being dense) stems from generating URLs and such. For example, if I want to generate a URL to display one photo, I'd expect to do:

route('photos.show', ['id' => $id]);

However, that won't work. Laravel wants me to use the photos key instead.

route('photos.show', ['photos' => $id]);

That's not intuitive. Can we use {id} instead of {photos}? Or am I missing something simple?

Of course, I can just pass the array with no key...

Awesome, I was confused about this, too.
