Laravel get route name from given URL

Question

In Laravel, we can get route name from current URL via this:

Route::currentRouteName()

But, how can we get the route name from a specific given URL?

Thank you.

Answer 1

A very easy way to do it Laravel 5.2

app('router')->getRoutes()->match(app('request')->create('/qqq/posts/68/u1'))->getName()

It outputs my Route name like this slug.posts.show

Update: For method like POST, PUT or DELETE you can do like this

app('router')->getRoutes()->match(app('request')->create('/qqq/posts/68/u1', 'POST'))->getName()//reference https://github.com/symfony/http-foundation/blob/master/Request.php#L309

Also when you run app('router')->getRoutes()->match(app('request')->create('/qqq/posts/68/u1', 'POST')) this will return Illuminate\Routing\Route instance where you can call multiple useful public methods like getAction, getValidators etc. Check the source https://github.com/illuminate/routing/blob/master/Route.php for more details.

Answer 2

None of the solutions above worked for me.

This is the correct way to match a route with the URI:

$url = 'url-to-match/some-parameter';

$route = collect(\Route::getRoutes())->first(function($route) use($url){
   return $route->matches(request()->create($url));
});

The other solutions perform bindings to the container and can screw up your routes...
