Retrieve Request instance in eloquent model scope

I have a Session table where I create sessions for users by authenticating in a REST API.

A Session has a relation with a User, so I can retrieve the User object from the Session.

I want to create a Eloquent scope to retrieve the currentUser logged in like Session::currentUser()->id where the Authorization header equals the token in the Session table.

It seems I can't use the Request instance in my scopeCurrentUser(). Can't inject it via the Controller as well like this:

public function __construct(Request $request) {
    $this->request = $request;
}

Also tried to inject it into the method (which is possible since Laravel 5)

public function scopeCurrentUser($query, Request $request)
{
    return $query->where('token', $request->header('Authorization'));
}

Any way I can get the $request->header('Authorization')?

You can get the request instance by using app('Illuminate\Http\Request') or Request:: (make sure you have use Request; at the top of you file).

So either you have 

use Request;

public function scopeCurrentUser($query)
{
    return $query->where('token', Request::header('Authorization'));
}

or

public function scopeCurrentUser($query)
{
    return $query->where('token', app('Illuminate\Http\Request')->header('Authorization'));
}

You can't do dependency injection in Eloquent methods as far as I know (at least it didn't work when I tried it).
