Lumen access Request object outside controller

Question

I am creating a custom guard where I need to access the Request object in order to get http headers. I have tried request() but it is undefined in lumen.

How do I get access to Request object outside of an controller class?

I've never used Lumen myself but you should be able to resolve the current request from the Service Container:

app('request');

You might have to pass the full class name:

app('Illuminate\Http\Request');
