How can I get id from url with Request $request? (Laravel 5.3)

Question

My link href on the view is like this :

<a href="{{ route('message.inbox.detail.id', ['id' => $message->id]) }}" class="btn btn-default">
    <span class="fa fa-eye"></span> {{ trans('button.view') }}
</a>

My routes is like this :

Route::get('message/inbox/detail/id/{id}', ['as'=>'message.inbox.detail.id','uses'=>'MessageController@detail']);

When clicked, the url display like this :

http://myshop.dev/message/inbox/detail/id/58cadfba607a1d2ac4000254

I want get id with Request $request

On the controller, I try like this :

public function detail(Request $request)
{
    dd($request->input('id'));
}

The result : null

How can I solve it?

Solution 1

You can get it like this

$request->route('id')

Inside request class you can access it this way

$this->route('id')

I usually use it when I'm validating field to make sure it's unique, and I need to exclude model by ID when I'm doing update

Solution 2

This is because you're passing the id parameter through url, you should send it using a form like this

{!! Form::open(['route'=>' route('message.inbox.detail.id', 'method'=> 'POST']) !!}
 <input type="hidden" name="id" value="{{ $message->id }}" />
{!! Form::submit({{ trans('button.view') }}, ['class'=>'btn btn-default']) !!}
{!! Form::close() !!}

and now you can access via request in your controller

public function detail(Request $request)
{


 dd($request->input('id'));
}

Does it can not use parameters Request $request?

[SteD]

for get, this is how you will have to pass it into your controller, Request $request can be used in other http method.

This is the correct answer, worth noting it may not be id. The parameter you pass should be the same name as the parameter in the route definition.

@rosscooper Exactly. If you defined the route like this: Route::apiresource('car', 'Api\CarController'), you have to use $request->route('car') or $request->route()->parameters['car']. You can get the request object with request(), $request which is coming from the controller method's parameter, or $this inside a request object.
