How to use the request route parameter in Laravel 5 form request?

I am new to Laravel 5 and I am trying to use the new Form Request to validate all forms in my application.

Now I am stuck at a point where I need to DELETE a resource and I created a DeleteResourceRequest for just to use the authorize method.

The problem is that I need to find what id is being requested in the route parameter but I cannot see how to get that in to the authorize method.

I can use the id in the controller method like so:

public function destroy($id, DeletePivotRequest $request)
{
    Resource::findOrFail($id);
}

But how to get this to work in the authorize method of the Form Request?

if your route is resource route then code as per below

// for example your route is
Route::resource('posts', 'PostsController');

// then

public function authorize(){
    $id = request()->post;
}

you will get parameter id if you call

request()->route('id')

OR

$this->route('id')

if you're using resource routing, you need to call with the resource name

// eg: resource
Route::resource('users', App\Http\Controllers\UserController::class);

$this->route('user')

After testing the other solutions, seems not to work for laravel 8, but this below works

Route::getCurrentRoute()->id

assuming your route is

Route::post('something/{id}', ...)

Depending on how you defined the parameter in your routes.

For my case below, it would be: 'user' not 'id'

$id = $this->route('user');

I came here looking for an answer and kind of found it in the comments, so wanted to clarify for others using a resource route trying to use this in a form request

as mentioned by lukas in his comment: Given a resource controller Route::resource('post', ...) the parameter you can use will be named post

This was usefull to me but not quite complete. It appears that the parameter will be the singular version of the last part of the resource stub.

In my case, the route was defined as $router->resource('inventory/manufacturers', 'API\Inventory\ManufacturersController');

And the parameter available was manufacturer (the singular version of the last part of the stub inventory/manufacturers)

Laravel 5.2, from within a controller:

use Route;

...

Route::current()->getParameter('id');

I've found this useful if you want to use the same controller method for more than one route with more than one URL parameter, and perhaps all parameters aren't always present or may appear in a different order...

i.e. getParameter('id')will give you the correct answer, regardless of {id}'s position in the URL.

See Laravel Docs: Accessing the Current Route

You can accessing a Route parameter Value via Illuminate\Http\Request instance

public function destroy($id, DeletePivotRequest $request)
{
    if ($request->route('id'))
    {
        //
    }

    Resource::findOrFail($id);
}

That's very simple, just use the route() method. Assuming your route parameter is called id:

public function authorize(){
    $id = $this->route('id');
}
