How do I override laravel resource route default m

Question

I have this schema for my REST API urls:

Verb    Url                         Method

GET     /tasks                      findAll   
GET     /tasks/{id}                 findOne    
POST    /tasks                      create   
PUT     /tasks/{id}                 update    
DELETE  /tasks/{id}                 deleteOne
DELETE  /tasks                      deleteAll

Is there a way for override the default method of Route Resource Laravel built-in methods (store,create,edit etc...) and create with a single line my custom route associated with my controller?

For example:

Route::resource('/tasks', 'TasksController');

Instead of:

Route::get('/tasks', 'TasksController@findAll');
Route::get('/tasks/{id}', 'TasksController@findOne');
Route::post('/tasks', 'TasksController@create');
Route::put('/tasks/{id}', 'TasksController@update');
Route::delete('/tasks', 'TasksController@deleteAll');
Route::delete('/tasks/{id}', 'TasksController@deleteOne');

I have solved making these steps changing the ResourceRegistrar.php class, this achieve my request. (suggest by @Thomas Van der Veen):

1) I have replaced $resourceDefaults array with my desires methods:

protected $resourceDefaults = ['findAll', 'findOne', 'create', 'update', 'deleteOne', 'deleteAll'];

2) After I have create the methods which execute the actions, deleting the olders.

    protected function addResourceFindAll($name, $base, $controller, $options)
{
    $uri = $this->getResourceUri($name);

    $action = $this->getResourceAction($name, $controller, 'findAll', $options);

    return $this->router->get($uri, $action);
}

protected function addResourceFindOne($name, $base, $controller, $options)
{
    $uri = $this->getResourceUri($name).'/{'.$base.'}';

    $action = $this->getResourceAction($name, $controller, 'findOne', $options);

    return $this->router->get($uri, $action);
}

protected function addResourceCreate($name, $base, $controller, $options)
{
    $uri = $this->getResourceUri($name);

    $action = $this->getResourceAction($name, $controller, 'create', $options);

    return $this->router->post($uri, $action);
}

protected function addResourceUpdate($name, $base, $controller, $options)
{
    $uri = $this->getResourceUri($name).'/{'.$base.'}';

    $action = $this->getResourceAction($name, $controller, 'update', $options);

    return $this->router->put($uri, $action);
}

protected function addResourceDeleteAll($name, $base, $controller, $options)
{
    $uri = $this->getResourceUri($name);

    $action = $this->getResourceAction($name, $controller, 'deleteAll', $options);

    return $this->router->delete($uri, $action);
}

protected function addResourceDeleteOne($name, $base, $controller, $options)
{
    $uri = $this->getResourceUri($name).'/{'.$base.'}';

    $action = $this->getResourceAction($name, $controller, 'deleteOne', $options);

    return $this->router->delete($uri, $action);
}

That's it, works very well!

You should take a look at Laravel documentation here: https://laravel.com/docs/5.3/controllers#resource-controllers

About deleteAll action, Laravel doesn't provide a default call for that. I would recommend to avoid this.

In order to create a resource controller just type on your terminal this command:

php artisan make:controller TasksController --resource

This will create a controller with default CRUD actions you'll have to fill.

Then in routes.php just add:

Route::resource('tasks', 'TasksController');

You'll be able to send calls to server like you described.
