Route Group in Lumen error Call to undefined method Laravel\Lumen\Application::group()

Question

I have declared a route group in laravel/lumen like so:

$app->group(['middleware' => 'auth'], function () use ($app) {
    $app->get('/details', 'UserController@details');
});

all contents of route file web.php are like so:

/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Application Routes
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| Here is where you can register all of the routes for an application.
| It is a breeze. Simply tell Lumen the URIs it should respond to
| and give it the Closure to call when that URI is requested.
|
*/

$app = app();

$router->get('/', function () use ($router) {
    return $router->app->version();
});


$app->group(['middleware' => 'auth'], function () use ($app) {
    $app->get('/details', 'UserController@details');
});

on making a call to http://THE_URL/

I get an error Call to undefined method Laravel\Lumen\Application::group()

How do I add route group with a middleware ?

Answer 1

Actually as @Aine said in Lumen 5.5+ you should change:

LumenPassport::routes($this->app);

to

LumenPassport::routes($this->app->router);

Application does not have group() method anymore.

thanks

I just ran into the same problem, with upgrading Lumen from 5.4 to 5.5

In the docs, it states:

Updating The Routes File

After updating your bootstrap/app.php file, you should update your routes/web.php file to use the $router variable instead of the $app variable:

$router->get('/hello', function () { return 'Hello World'; });

For me, this meant lots of updating, where ever $app was used in the routing.

$app->get()                     => $router->get()
$app->group()                   => $router->group()
$app->post()/patch()/delete()   => $router->post()/patch()/delete()

// Inside functions    
$app->group([...], function () use ($app)
=>
$router->group([...], function () use ($router)

// And even in some other files
$app = app();
$app->get();
    =>
$app = app();
$router = $app->router;
$router->get();

Hope this helps.

Found the solution to the problem:

<?php

/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Application Routes
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| Here is where you can register all of the routes for an application.
| It is a breeze. Simply tell Lumen the URIs it should respond to
| and give it the Closure to call when that URI is requested.
|
*/

$router->group(['prefix' => 'api'], function () use ($router) {
    $router->get('/', function () use ($router) {
        return "API";
    });

    $router->post('/signin','UserController@signin');
    $router->post('/signup','UserController@signup');

    $router->group(['middleware' => 'auth'], function () use ($router) {
        $router->get('/details', 'UserController@details');
    });
});

In order to group routs we have to use:

$router->group(['middleware' => 'auth'], function () use ($router) {
        $router->get('/details', 'UserController@details');
});
