[FIXED] Laravel 5 how to get route action name?

Issue

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();
    }
}

Solution

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();
    }
}
