Laravel 5.6 additional Route::resource() Parameters

I would like to know how to add additional parameters to Laravel's Route Resource without using Query Strings.

I created a controller (CustomerController) with all the built-in resources and then, added the following route:

Route::resource('customers', 'CustomerController');

What i would like to do is add additional parameters to some of the default resources without creating custom routes or using query strings. For example:

Default resource with optional parameter (index):

public function index($page = 0)
{
    //...
}

Desired URL:

http://www.example.com/customers
http://www.example.com/customers/{page}

I tried the following, but i get a not found exception (NotFoundHttpException):

Route::resource('customers', 'CustomerController')->parameters([
    'index' => 'page'
]);

Is this possible? If so, how can i accomplish it?
