How to change auto-generated parameters from routes

[Unravel-18]

The parameters that are automatically generated from Laravel route are of the standard string data type. How is it possible to change it to Integer

[Buccaneersdan]

For me it works by typing the router-parameters of the respective controller-function.

api.php:

Route::patch("/product/{id}", [ProductController::class, 'updateProductData'])...

ProductController.php

public function updateProductData(Request $request, int $id = -1)
{
}
