I'm building a twitter-ish website and I'm having a problem with routing:

1. this code will bring the user to the profile page of the person with the given id.

Route::get('/profile/id', 'ProfileController@show')->name('profile.show');

2. this code will bring the user to the profile page of the person with the given username.

Route::get('/profile/username', 'ProfileController@show')->name('profile.show');

3. and finally, this code will bring the user to the profile page of the person with the given email.

Route::get('/profile/email', 'ProfileController@show')->name('profile.show');

I mean all these three URLs will show the user the same page:

example.com/profile/1
example.com/profile/rahimi0151
example.com/profile/rahimi0151@gmail.com

my question is:
is there a way to merge all these routes? like below:

Route::get('/profile/username', 'ProfileController@show')->name('profile.show');

Am not sure about merging the routes but you could write your route like this

Route::get('/profile/identifier', 'ProfileController@show')->name('profile.show');

and then change the method signature for show in ProfileController to something like this

public function show($identifier) 
 if (is_numeric($identifier)) 
 // do something
 else if ($this->isEmail($identifier)) 
 // do something
 else 
 // assume it is a username, and do something with that
 


// method to check if value provided is an email
// preferably, move this to a file of your custom helper functions
private function isEmail($value) 
 // check if value is an email 
 // and return true/false indicating whether value is an email

And here is a link for a good way on how to check if a value is valid email address
