How to use the rule validation in FormRequest class?

I have a Company, where I like to validate the update request. Until now I validated the request inside the update() action but I like to move this to its own CompanyUpdateRequest.

In the validation I check of the uniqueness of the tax number but of course I like to allow the same tax number for the very company. 

'tax_number' => [
    'required',
    'string',
    Rule::unique('companies')->ignore($company->tax_number),
],

This works as long it is placed inside the action, where I have $company already: 

public function update(Request $request, Company $company) 
{
}

My question is now, how I get the company inside the CompanyUpdateRequest?

I know that I could put the ID of the company inside a hidden field in the form, send it along with the request, pull the company from DB ... but this feels kind of wrong. Does anybody have a better / another approach or idea?

Thanks a lot.

use route() method. Assume your route parameter name is company-

$this->route('company');

Note: parameter method inside route method needs to exactly same as url route parameter. In this case-

Route::post('yourUrl/{company}','SomeController@method');

You can get it with $this->route('paramName');

Rule::unique('companies')->ignore($this->route('company')),

You can pass any data through a form:

<input name="company_id" value="{{ $company->tax_number }}" type="hidden">

Then in the CompanyUpdateRequest class:

Rule::unique('companies')->ignore($request->company_id),

You can also change this rule to:

'companies' => 'unique:companies,company_id,' . $request->company_id,
