Request attributes

$request['company'] = $company;

No, it not help. In L5.1 middleware run before control(tested with log event), but in L 5.5 not.

L5.1 Middleware

public function handle($request, Closure $next) {
    $company = \App\Companys::where('subdomain','=',$request->company)->where('active','=',1)->first();
    if($company) {
        $request->attributes->add(['company' => $company]);
        return $next($request);
    }
    return redirect('/');
}

L5.1 Controller.php

public function __construct(Request $request) {
    $request->get('company'); // return object correct
}

L5.5 Middleware

public function handle($request, Closure $next) {
    $company = CompanyModel::bySubdomain($request->subdomain);
    $request->attributes->add(['company' => $company]);
    return $next($request);
}

L5.5 Controller.php

public function __construct(Request $request) {
    $request->get('company'); // Not work
}

L5.5 CompanyModel bySubdomain method

public static function bySubdomain($subdomain) {
    return static::where('subdomain', $subdomain)->first();
}

All is made same way, but why L5.5 version is now After Middleware, not Before Middleware?

What is your $request? an array or a collection?

\Illuminate\Http\Request $request object

Where are you adding the attribute to request?

I'm sure you shouldn't be modifying the Request object, is this the best way to be doing what you're trying to achieve?

I will add in middleware, check my 2nd comment, there is code.

In this middleware I check is there company in database with given subdomain, and I want pass this company object to controllers using later it.

My Middleware idea is check that database found company by given subdomain. I need this same data in many place so I want keep this data available in same request without make new query to database.

In Laravel 5.1 it work very well, but now in Laravel 5.5 it not work anymore :)

Okay I change style work, get help from this question: https://laracasts.com/discuss/channels/general-discussion/pass-data-from-middleware-to-controllers.
