I want to perform certain operations with a model in a middleware. Here is an example of what I want to achieve:
public function handle($request, Closure $next)
{
$itemId = $request->param('item'); // <-- invalid code, serves for illustration purposes only
$item = Item::find($itemId);
if($item->isBad()) return redirect(route('dont_worry'));
return $next($request);
}
My question is, how can I retrieve the desired parameter from the $request?
public function handle(Request $request, Closure $next)
{
$itemId = $request->item;
//..............
}
If the parameter is part of a URL and this code is being used in Middleware, you can access the parameter by it's name from the route given:
public function handle($request, Closure $next)
{
$itemId = $request->route()->getParameter('item');
$item = Item::find($itemId);
if($item->isBad()) return redirect(route('dont_worry'));
return $next($request);
}
This is based on having a route like: '/getItem/{item}'
$request->route()->parameters['item']
$request->route('item') works for me. Laravel 5.7
Use this after Laravel 5.5
public function handle($request, Closure $next)
{
$item = Item::find($request->route()->parameter('item'));
if($item->isBad()) return redirect(route('dont_worry'));
return $next($request);
}
In some cases, we can use the below method also to get the parameter,
public function handle(Request $request, Closure $next)
{
$itemId = $request->query('item');
}
idpart from/item/{id}route
