Is there a way to get the method(s) that a route responds to by its name? The UrlGenerator (as I would expect by its name in all fairness), only provides the URL given a route name. Is there a service provider that can return both the URL and any methods that the route can respond to? I would prefer not to have to hook directly into the app's route collection if possible.

I think the best way for you to go about this would be to extend the UrlGenerator. You could then add a new method to return an array of the HTTP methods allowed for a route.
public function getMethodsForRoute($name) { if (! is_null($route = $this->routes->getByName($name))) { return $route->methods(); } throw new InvalidArgumentException("Route [{$name}] not defined."); } As an alternative you may be able to get the current route from the router and return them that way. Its slightly less elegant, however. (Note this is untested)
$name = 'route.name'; $router = app('Illuminate\Routing\Router'); if (! is_null($route = $router->getRoutes()->getByName($name))) { $methods = $route->methods(); }

Would it perhaps be better to add to the applications RouteServiceProvider, so I'm not changing any built in service providers? I can access the Router from there too.

If you're extending the UrlGenerator I would suggest creating a new service provider that registers your extended version of the UrlGenerator.
