How to pass an empty variable through the route in Laravel?

Question

Registered route in web.php

Route::get('/posts/{cat}','IndexController@index');

If you just specify '/ posts' in the url, meaning that $ cat is empty, the error page returns that the page was not found. What could be the problem?

So you create an additional rule: Route :: get ('/ posts', 'IndexController @ index');
Or the manual open laravel.com/docs/5.7/routing#parameters-optional-parameters

That's right to specify an optional parameter in the route.

 Route::get('/posts/{cat?}','IndexController@index');
