HandleInertiaRequests::share() receives a different request than version()

[benjivm]

I can't access any route() helpers in the share() method of the HandleInertiaRequests.php middleware, though all of them work fine in the version() method of the same middleware:

This doesn't work:

public function share(Request $request): array
{
    dump($request->routeIs('home')); // false on 'home' route
    dump($request->route()); // null

    return array_merge(parent::share($request), [
        'navigation' => [
            ['name' => 'Dashboard', 'href' => route('home'), 'current' => $request->routeIs('home')],
        ],
    ]);
}

This dumps the current route, though:

public function version(Request $request): ?string
{
    dump($request->routeIs('home')); // true on 'home' route
    dump($request->route()); // correct instance of Illuminate\Routing\Route

    if (file_exists($manifest = public_path('build/manifest.json'))) {
        return md5_file($manifest);
    }

    return null;
}

This appears to be an issue with global middleware? I created a custom middleware and registered in the 'web' middleware group of the HTTP Kernel and it works now:

ShareInertiaData.php middleware:

class ShareInertiaData
{
    public function handle(Request $request, Closure $next): Response
    {
        Inertia::share([
            'navigation' => [
                ['name' => 'Dashboard', 'href' => route('home'), 'current' => $request->routeIs('home')],
            ],
        ]);

        return $next($request);
    }
}

HTTP Kernel.php:

protected $middlewareGroups = [
    'web' => [
        // ...
        \App\Http\Middleware\ShareInertiaData::class,
    ],

    'api' => [
        // ...
    ],
];
