Can I get current route information in middleware with Lumen?

Question

I need to have the current found controller and action in a middleware, so that I can do some authentication. But I found it impossible, because the pipe is like Middleware1 -> Middleware2-> do the dispatching -> controller@action() -> Middleware2 -> Middleware1.

Therefore before the dispatching, I cannot get the route info. It is definitely not right to do it after the $controller->action().

I did some research and found this.

$allRoutes = $this->app->getRoutes();
$method = \Request::getMethod();
$pathInfo = \Request::getPathInfo();
$currentRoute = $allRoutes[$method.$pathInfo]['action']['uses'];

But this does not work when visiting URI like app/role/1, because $allRoutes only have index of app/role/{id} instead of app/role/1.

Is there any workaround about this?

I found the correct answer to this problem. I missed one method named routeMiddleware() of Application. This method registers the route-specific middleware which is invoked after dispatching. So Just use $app->routeMiddleware() to register you middleware. And get the matched route info by $request->route() in your middleware.
