Using "resource"; method in Route::controller(<class>)->group(...)

Question

I'm editing my application routing files to make them as neat as possible. So I've done this in my "web.php":

Route::controller(AlquilerController::class)->group(function ($hola) {
   
    //Debug lines
    error_log("This");
    error_log(get_class($this)); //Illuminate\Routing\RouteFileRegistrar.
    error_log("hola");
    error_log(get_class($hola)); //Illuminate\Routing\Router.

    Route::get('alquileres/busqueda', 'busqueda')->name('alquileres.busqueda');
    Route::get('alquileres/busqueda_texto', 'busquedaTexto')->name('alquileres.busqueda_texto');

    Route::middleware('auth')->get('alquileres/mis_alquileres', 'mis_alquileres')->name('alquileres.mis_alquileres');

    Route::post('/alquileres/filter_texto',  'filterTexto')->name('alquileres.filter_texto');
    Route::get('/alquileres/filter_texto',  'filterTexto')->name('alquileres.filter_texto_url');

    Route::post('/alquileres/filter',  'filter')->name('alquileres.filter');
    Route::get('/alquileres/filter',  'filter')->name('alquileres.filter_url');

    Route::resource('alquileres',AlquilerController::class)->parameters(['alquileres' => 'alquiler']);
});

Although this works fine, I find this line to be redundant: Route::resource('alquileres',AlquilerController::class)->parameters(['alquileres' => 'alquiler']);, because I repeat the text "AlquilerController::class", Both are in the parameter 'Route::controller' and then the second parameter of 'Route::resource'.

Is there any way to avoid this? I tried doing some "error_log" at the beginning of the "group" callback body just to see what I got, but I can't find a solution.

Thank you so much!

How to declare a variable with the value of the controller class before the routing group and then use the variable in the routing group class to avoid duplication

$controllerClass = AlquilerController::class;

Route::controller($controllerClass)->group(function () use ($controllerClass) {

    Route::get('alquileres/busqueda', 'busqueda')->name('alquileres.busqueda');
    Route::get('alquileres/busqueda_texto', 'busquedaTexto')->name('alquileres.busqueda_texto');

    Route::middleware('auth')->get('alquileres/mis_alquileres', 'mis_alquileres')->name('alquileres.mis_alquileres');

    Route::post('/alquileres/filter_texto',  'filterTexto')->name('alquileres.filter_texto');
    Route::get('/alquileres/filter_texto',  'filterTexto')->name('alquileres.filter_texto_url');

    Route::post('/alquileres/filter',  'filter')->name('alquileres.filter');
    Route::get('/alquileres/filter',  'filter')->name('alquileres.filter_url');

    Route::resource('alquileres', $controllerClass)->parameters(['alquileres' => 'alquiler']);
});
