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(); } } To get action name, you need to use:
echo Route::getCurrentRoute()->getActionName(); and not
echo Route::getActionName(); 
App\Http\Controllers\AdsController@create, so it is not only action name. Is it possible to get only it?
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(); } } 
handle and __construct method but it's not working. Unresolvable dependency resolving [Parameter #0 [ <required> $methods ]] in class Illuminate\Routing\Route
To get only the method name you can use ...
$request->route()->getActionMethod() or with a facade ...
Route::getActionMethod() To get action name only (without controller name):
list(, $action) = explode('@', Route::getCurrentRoute()->getActionName()); Instead
use Illuminate\Routing\Route; Use this
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route; If you want to get the alias of the route, you can use:
Route::getCurrentRoute()->getName() To get the route action name on Middleware i do that:
<?php namespace App\Http\Middleware; use Closure; use Illuminate\Routing\Router; class HasAccess { protected $router; public function __construct(User $user, Router $router) { $this->router = $router; } public function handle($request, Closure $next) { $action_name = $this->router->getRoutes()->match($request)->getActionName(); //$action_name will have as value 'App\Http\Controllers\HomeController@showWelcome' //Now you can do what you want whit the action name return $next($request); } } EDIT: You will don't get the routes which are protected by this middleware :(
To get only action name in Laravel 5.4
explode('@', Route::getCurrentRoute()->getActionName())[1]
Can't find any better way, to use in view, in one line...
In Laravel 5.5 if you just want the method/action name i.e. show, edit, custom-method etc... do this
Route::getCurrentRoute()->getActionMethod() No need to use explode or list to get the actual method to be called. Thanks to Laravel who thought of this.
For Laravel 5.1 use:
$route = new Illuminate\Routing\Route(); $route->getActionName(); // Returns App\Http\Controllers\MyController@myAction $route->getAction(); // Array with full controller info There are lots of useful methods in this class. Just check the code for more details.
You may use to get the controller details form the request itself
$request->route()->getAction() 
This working perfectly good for me.
$request->route()->getActionMethod() $request->route()->getAction()['prefix'] // return 'api' A few options.
Pass variables to the view from your controller. Set a global view variable use view composer. You need to choose one of these depending on your use case.
Route::getCurrentRoute()->getAction(); Route::currentRouteAction(); Route::currentRouteName();
