php - Laravel 5, calling function inside compose@ViewComposer logs fatal error and returns result as expected -

i trying route name

app('request')->route()->getname(); 

inside compose method of view composer called boot method of serviceprovider.

the result returns expected (foo.create etc.) but, when check log files,

laravel 5 logs,

exception 'symfony\component\debug\exception\fatalerrorexception' message 'call member function getname() on null'

and can't understand how can undefined function return right object , can call method on it.

any appreciated. thanks.

i got current route's name in different way , did not see in logs, maybe try this:

public function boot() {    view()->composer([...], function($view){       dd(\route::currentroutename()); 

about error, i'd guess ->route() returning null, hence error, laravel sends getname() message app('request') works. can try app('request')->getname(); or app('route')->getname();
