How to get route action name in laravel

Question

I'm trying to get the current route action, but I'm not sure how to go about it. In Laravel 4 I was using Route::currentRouteAction() but now it's a bit different.

I'm trying to do Route::getActionName() in my controller but it keeps giving me method not found.

<?php namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Route;

class HomeController extends Controller
{
    public function getIndex()
    {
        echo 'getIndex';
        echo Route::getActionName();
    }
}

Hello @kartik,

To get action name, you need to use:

echo Route::getCurrentRoute()->getActionName();

and not

echo Route::getActionName();

Hope it helps!!
Thank you!!
