php - Laravel get route name from given URL

Question

In Laravel, we can get route name from current URL via this:

Route::currentRouteName()

But, how can we get the route name from a specific given URL?

Thank you.

Answer 1

A very easy way to do it Laravel 5.2

app('router')->getRoutes()->match(app('request')->create('/qqq/posts/68/u1'))->getName()

It outputs my Route name like this slug.posts.show

Update: For method like POST, PUT or DELETE you can do like this

app('router')->getRoutes()->match(app('request')->create('/qqq/posts/68/u1', 'POST'))->getName()//reference https://github.com/symfony/http-foundation/blob/master/Request.php#L309

Also when you run app('router')->getRoutes()->match(app('request')->create('/qqq/posts/68/u1', 'POST')) this will return IlluminateRoutingRoute instance where you can call multiple useful public methods like getAction, getValidators etc. Check the source https://github.com/illuminate/routing/blob/master/Route.php for more details.
