API Request route parameter

[cage81]

Laravel Version

12.40.2

PHP Version

8.4.15

Database Driver & Version

MySql 9.1.0 on Debian 13

Description

In a previous Laravel version (10.48.29) i created a custom middleware to catch a specific value in the api request path. This, in the handle method, made use of the following:

$request->route('company')

It doesn't work in the newest Laravel version (12.40.2)

Steps To Reproduce

In brief:

laravel new myproject

php artisan install:api

php artisan make:middleware ApiRouteCheck

• Added the custom middleware in the bootstrap/app.php:

use App\Http\Middleware\ApiRouteCheck;

and:

->withMiddleware(function (Middleware $middleware): void {
    $middleware->append(ApiRouteCheck::class);
})

• Inside the created middleware, in the handle method, the same:

$request->route('company')

is empty.

Have I missed something else or is it a bug? Is there another way to read the value in the newer Laravel version?

Thanks, kind regards.
