So i have a variable in my routes.php and i want to pass it to the route::get, this is my code for more details :
$user = User::find(Auth::user()->username);
Route::get('/services/here i want to put my variable', 'ServiceController@show');
so please if someone has any idea i will be very appreciative
The problem with variating your routes with something like:
$user = User::find(Auth::user()->username);
Route::get("/services/$user->username", 'ServiceController@show');
Is that you may enconter some problems in cases where the user does't exists. If you do that and go to your command line and execute:
php artisan routes
There will be no logged user so that route will be pointed to /services/. What you have to do to prevent those cases is to create a filter and process your route on it:
The route:
Route::get("/services/{username}", array('before' => 'user-must-be-logged-in', 'uses' => 'ServiceController@show'));
A filter to do some checks on it:
Route::filter('user-must-be-logged-in', function()
{
if ( ! Auth::check())
{
App::abort(404); /// user is not logged in, this route does not exist
}
if ( ! User::where('username', $username)->first() )
{
App::abort(404); /// user does not exists, this route does not exist
}
if (User::where('username', $username)->first()->id !== Auth::user()->id)
{
App::abort(404); /// selected is not the current logged user, this route does not exist
}
});
A controller doing whatever you need with it:
class ServiceController extends Controller {
public function show()
{
$user = User::where('username', $username)->first();
// now do whatever you need with your user;
}
}
assuming its $user you want to put in there
$user = User::find(Auth::user()->username);
Route::get("/services/$user", 'ServiceController@show');
swap single quotes for doubles and pass in your var (either that or drop out of your single quotes concat in with . your var
User::find(...)->username it again to get the username.
