Forum Global Regex Patterns Issue

Global Regex Patterns do not work.

Laravel 5.0 documentation states that global patterns should be put on the boot() function of RouteServiceProvider.

	public function boot(Router $router)
	{
		parent::boot($router);
		$router->pattern(['id' => '[0-9]+']);		
	}

But they seem to be ignored and thus a GET /test/foo doesn't throw an exception.

It only works if I place it on the route:

     Route::get('/test/{id}', function($id) {
          return $id;
     })->where('id' => '[0-9+]');

Solution

UPDATE: I realize I have to register the pattern before the call to the parent's boot.

    public function boot(Router $router)
    {
        $router->pattern(['id' => '[0-9]+']);       
        parent::boot($router);
    }
