When instantiating a custom form request, I would like to set an url-parameter. I looked through the documentation and found how query parameters could be set on a request, but nothing about url-parameters. It would look as follows when submitting a regular API request:
https://localhost:8080/{parameter}
How would I set this in the request instance?
The example of the instantiated request can be seen in the image attachment.

@little sundial Why are you manually instantiating form requests in the first place? That’s not how you use form requests.

I knew that this was not how form requests were intended to be used, but this was just for testing purposes. But since it is possible to set request headers etc., I thought it should also be possible to set url/route-parameters.
Thanks for the response by the way!

Well the problem is, form requests classes aren’t simply instantiated like that.
They extend the base Request class.
So what is the actual problem you’re trying to solve here?

I would like to inject a request into a controller method, which uses a route parameter for an id. The request is successfully instantiated and the body is passed and readable, but the route parameter cannot be passed. I tried something like this, but this does not work.

All route parameters are available inside form requests, since it just extends the base Request.
You don’t need to manually pass them.
Given a route like:
Route::post('/categories/{category}/posts', [ArticlePostController::class, 'store');
The {category} parameter value would be accessible via $this->route('category') inside your form request. If you’re using route–model binding, then the value will be the bound model instance.

I know, that is how routes parameters are read once set. But I want to inject the route parameter into a manually instantiated request. This would go into the following function:
and the request is created like this currently

🤦♂️
You can’t just manually instantiate a form request with arbitrary data like that.
Like I say, they extend the base Request class, so need a shit-load of other stuff to be instantiated.
Which is why you type-hint them in your controller actions instead.
Use them properly. Access route parameters properly.

I will look into it, thanks for the help anyway!
