Slim 3 get current route in middleware

Question

I want to get the name of the current I route in a middleware class. Previously (in Slim 2.*) you could fetch the current route like so:

$route = $this->ap

Answer 1

For Slim3, here is an example showing you how to get routing information from within middleware, which is actually a combination of previous answers put together.

 true);

// This is not necessary for this answer, but very useful
if (ENVIRONMENT == "dev")
{
    $slimSettings['displayErrorDetails'] = true;
}

$slimConfig = array('settings' => $slimSettings);
$app = new \Slim\App($slimConfig);


$myMiddleware = function ($request, $response, $next) {

    $route = $request->getAttribute('route');
    $routeName = $route->getName();
    $groups = $route->getGroups();
    $methods = $route->getMethods();
    $arguments = $route->getArguments();

    print "Route Info: " . print_r($route, true);
    print "Route Name: " . print_r($routeName, true);
    print "Route Groups: " . print_r($groups, true);
    print "Route Methods: " . print_r($methods, true);
    print "Route Arguments: " . print_r($arguments, true);
};

// Define app routes
$app->add($myMiddleware);


$app->get('/', function (\Slim\Http\Request $request, Slim\Http\Response $response, $args) {
    # put some code here....
})

In my case, I wanted to add middleware that would ensure the user was logged in on certain routes, and redirect them to the login page if they weren't. I found the easiest way to do this was to use ->setName() on the routes like so:

$app->get('/', function (\Slim\Http\Request $request, Slim\Http\Response $response, $args) {
    return $response->withRedirect('/home');
})->setName('index');

Then if this route was matched, the $routeName in the middleware example will be "index". I then defined my array list of routes that didn't require authentication and checked if the current route was in that list. E.g.

if (!in_array($routeName, $publicRoutesArray))
{
    # @TODO - check user logged in and redirect if not.
}
