Laravel 5 how to get route action name?

Question

I'm trying to get the current route action, but I'm not sure how to go about it. In Laravel 4 I was using Route::currentRouteAction() but now it's a bit different.

I'm trying to do Route::getActionName() in my controller but it keeps giving me method not found.

<?php namespace App\Http\Controllers;  use Route;  class HomeController extends Controller {     public function getIndex()     {         echo 'getIndex';         echo Route::getActionName();     } } 

Answer 1

To get action name, you need to use:

echo Route::getCurrentRoute()->getActionName(); 

and not

echo Route::getActionName(); 

Answer 2

In Laravel 5 you should be using Method or Constructor injection. This will do what you want:

<?php namespace App\Http\Controllers;  use Illuminate\Routing\Route;  class HomeController extends Controller {     public function getIndex(Route $route)     {         echo 'getIndex';         echo $route->getActionName();     } }
