Why do you do this in a middleware? Do you want this to be adapted to multiple endpoints? If not I would just implement this as a static route and point it to the get method of my controller.

Lumen override route parameter in middleware
I'm currently trying to implement a Middleware in Lumen that makes it so that if someone types in a URL like this:
/users/self
It will replace "self" with the current logged in users ID, so when it gets to the controller the $id parameter is equal to a real ID instead of "self". However, I'm having a really hard time figuring out how to replace "self" with the ID by the time it gets to the controller. I thought maybe something like this would work:
public function handle($request, Closure $next)
{
if ($request->route()[2]['id'] === 'self') {
$request->route()[2]['id'] = $this->getCurrentUsersId();
}
return $next($request);
}
However, it does not update the requests 'id' value like I hoped it would. Does anyone have any advice on this?

@ChristophAust Correct, this needs to be applied to roughly a dozen endpoints. Middleware seems the most appropriate since it's reusable and it's whole purpose is to affect the request before it hits your controller method.

So far the only workaround I used to solve this issue is to inject the parameter into the $request
in the Middleware file
public function handle($request, Closure $next)
{
$request->id = $request->route()[2]['id'];
if ($request->id === 'self') {
$request->id = $this->getCurrentUsersId();
}
return $next($request);
}
and in the Controller file
public function actionMethod($id, Request $request)
{
dd($request->id);
}
