Hey Mohammed, thanks for this article. It's very usefuil.
I'm having some issue to handle authorization dynamically in the form request, inside the authorize method.

I have a similar situation where I need to pass a second model in the can method inside the authorize function.

Since I'm using Lumen, I have defined both Gates and Policies but looks like the second model is not being binded in the Form Request.

So my question is: When you do $this->post to get the Post Model, from where this post property is coming from? Are you creating a post property inside the Form Request and binding the model from the Route there? I tried to get the model from the route using $this->route('my_model') without success. I might have missed something.....

Thanks for your time :)

Hello Deric, I appreciate that article is beneficial to you 😍
I haven't used Lumen, but there might be something missing, that to access the model instance inside your form request, your route has to be something like that
/posts/{post}
and then you can access it using $this->post or $this->route('post'), bear in mind that naming the route must be same as the name of the property you try to retrieve.

Hello Mohammed, I found out what the issue was. Actually it's a bug that's happening with Lumen only during tests.

When you try to access the model with $this->route('model') during tests, a array is being returned instead, which makes the code to break.

Everything is clear now. Thanks for your time.
