check your $request in the filter

I believe

$request->get('id');

should give you the id

your before should look like

....
'before'    => 'maxId',
....

Hi zenry,

these calls work:

$route->getParameter('id')
Route::input('id')

As long as

$request->get('id')

return null.

But I would like to know if there a way to pass an argument directly within the filter, since the filter method accept a third parameter....

Surely there must be a way....

class MaxIdFilter {

   public function filter( $route , $request ) {

      if ($route->getParameter('id') > 200) {

         return Redirect::route('home', array('error' => 'maxid'));
      }
   }
}

what I would like to do, is use the route for "send" the parameter at the filter through use of this syntax:

Route::get('/{id}', array(

    'as'        => 'idhandler',
    'before'    => 'maxId:HERE_ID_PARAMETER',
    'uses'      => 'IdController@showDataId'

));

instead, the examples shown so far, take the parameter directly in the filter class through method calls:

$route->getParameter('id')
Route::input('id')
