Laravel 5: How to inject a model that has been bound to route into the authorized method of FormRequest

posted 10 years ago

I've bound a model to a route parameter:

$this->model('employee', 'App\Employee');

This is working fine. The model is injected in my controller method. But now i want to access that model in the authorize method of my FormRequest object:

/**
 * Determine if the user is authorized to make this request.
 *
 * @return bool
 */
public function authorize()
{
    // TODO: How to get employee model here?
    return true;
}

I've checked the request object, but there's no option. Any suggestions?

Greetings.

Solution

Hi, have you tried this inside your authorize method:

$employee = $this->route->parameter('employee');
var_dump($employee);

Cheers!

Thanks a lot. It was a bit tricky due to usage of controller routes.

get('employee/hire/{employee}', 'App\EmployeeController@getHire');
post('employee/hire/{employee}', 'App\EmployeeController@postHire');
Route::controller('employee', 'App\EmployeeController');

A little advice: avoid implicit routing as much as possible.
