stevenspads / Using Request for Laravel Route::get() controller functions
Last active March 4, 2018 23:57
Using Request for Laravel Route::get() controller functions
// Here's what my web.php file looks like with a locale prefix on all routes for a multilingual app.
// To manage the locale, I'm using two middlewares:
// the 'locale.default' middleware to set a default locale,
// and the 'locale' middleware to call app()->setLocale($segment) on the first request segment.
// The two middlewares appear to be working fine.
Route::prefix('{locale?}')->middleware(['locale.default', 'locale'])->group(function() {
Route::get('/car/{id}', [
'uses' => 'CarController@getCar',
'as' => 'car',
