Implicit route model binding in Lumen?

Question

I'm trying to use implicit route model binding in Lumen but seems it's not working.

Is there anyway to enable this?

$app->get('/users/{user}', 'UsersController@get');

It's just returning the value in user but it's not type hinting it and returning the model.

I created a package to add support for route-model-binding in Lumen, Check it out here :

Lumen Route Binding

It requires :

php >= 7.1
Lumen 5.* || 6.*

It supports Explicit binding :

$binder->bind('user', 'App\User');

Implicit binding :

$binder->implicitBind('App\Models');

And Composite binding : (bind more than one wildcard together, In situations like posts\{post}\comments\{comment} you will be able to bind it to a callable that will resolve the Post and the Comment related to the post)

$binder->compositeBind(['post', 'comment'], function($postKey, $commentKey) {
    $post = \App\Post::findOrFail($postKey);
    $comment = $post->comments()->findOrFail($commentKey);

    return [$post, $comment];
});

Also can work with other classes like Repositories :

// Add a suffix to the class name
$binder->implicitBind('App\Repositories', '', 'Repository');

Can use a custom method on the repository :

// Use a custom method on the class
$binder->implicitBind('App\Repositories', '', 'Repository', 'findForRoute');

Where in the repository class you can do :

public function findForRoute($val)
{
    return $this->model->where('slug', $val)->firstOrFail();
}
