Getting route parameters in Lumen
Solution 1
Lumen is so stripped down, that the Route resolves to a simple array, rather than a Route object.
This is a problem, since the Request::route($key)
method assumes the Route will have a parameter
method.
But if you call Request::route(null)
, the complete Route array will be returned, looking something like this:
array(3) {
[0]=>
int(1)
[1]=>
array(2) {
["uses"]=>
string(40) "App\Http\Controllers\SomeController@index"
["middleware"]=>
array(2) {
[0]=>
string(4) "auth"
[1]=>
string(4) "example"
}
}
[2]=>
array(1) {
["id"]=>
string(36) "32bd15fe-fec8-11e7-ac6b-e0accb7a6476"
}
}
Where [2]
always seems to contain the Route parameters.
I made a simple helper class to work with the Route parameters on Lumen. You can get, set and forget route parameters. This is works great if you need to manipulate them in your middleware.
Save in app/Support/RouteParam.php
: https://gist.github.com/westphalen/c3cd187007e0448bcb7fca1de091e4df
And simply use it like this: $id = RouteParam::get($request, 'id');
Blame illuminate/http/Request.php
:
/**
* Get the route handling the request.
*
* @param string|null $param
*
* @return \Illuminate\Routing\Route|object|string
*/
public function route($param = null)
{
$route = call_user_func($this->getRouteResolver());
if (is_null($route) || is_null($param)) {
return $route;
}
return $route->parameter($param); // can't call parameter on array.
}
Solution 2
The problem is Lumen just is not yet registers route information in the global middleware.
So, you'll just get empty string if you call $request->route()
:
class MyMiddleware {
public function handle($request, Closure $next)
{
$request->route(); // empty string or null
return $next($request);
}
}
The decision is to define your middleware as a route middleware and manually set it to each needed route.
bootstrap/app.php
:
$app->middleware([
// MyMiddleware::class, // do not use global middleware
]);
$app->routeMiddleware([
MyMiddleware::class,
]);
// And then apply the middleware to every route using a group:
$app->router->group([
'namespace' => 'App\Http\Controllers',
'middleware' => [MyMiddleware::class],
], function ($router) {
require __DIR__ . '/../routes/web.php';
});
The final correct middleware:
class MyMiddleware
{
public function handle($request, Closure $next)
{
// @see https://github.com/laravel/lumen-framework/issues/119#issuecomment-298835011
$route = $request->route();
$routeParameters = is_array($route) ? $route[2] : $route->parameters();
return $next($request);
}
}

When trying to access Route parameters, using
$request->route('id')
, in latest version of Lumen, I get an error.lumen.ERROR: Symfony\Component\Debug\Exception\FatalThrowableError: Call to a member function parameter() on array
It works fine in Laravel.
