Hello,
I´m trying to extend the Request Class.
Use Case: There is a middleware which determines a microservice url from the request path. This microservice url should be available later on in a controller. I thought it could be a good option to place it to the request class.
I don´t find any documentation how to achieve this.
Many thanks.
@cololaradev Add the method as a macro in a service provider:
Request::macro('getMicroserviceUrl', function () {
// Code to determine and return microservice URL
});
You can then use this as a normal method on the Request class elsewhere in your application:
Request::getMicroserviceUrl();
@martinbean Thanks. I will have a look at macros also. In the meanwhile I found another solution.
Extending the illuminate request class and register the custom request class as singleton inside the AppServiceProvider. This should do the trick.
$this->app->singleton(Request::class, function () {
return Request::capture();
});
$this->app->alias(Request::class, 'request');
@cololaradev : Thanks, your solution worked!
@COLOLARADEV - Hey, just want to say @cololaradev has the right solution here. Worked like a charm in Laravel Lumen 5.8.5.
Please or to participate in this conversation.
