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?

Answer 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
