Laravel: Use two Requests at the same time in a controller

Question

I have a function in my controller. The problem is I must use two Requests at the same time but only one of them can be used in a controller.

Illuminate\Support\Facades\Request
Illuminate\Http\Request

Code:

public function func(Request $req) {
    if (Request::isMethod('post')) {
        $this->validate($req, [
            'username' => 'required|string'
        ]);
    }
}

What is the solution?

You need to specify what you mean by "request". Do you mean you want to use both *types*, you need two instances or you actually mean you want to process two (2) http requests at the same time? — Mark, Mar 21 '16 at 17:01

If you wanted to use both of them, you can alias them as below:

use Illuminate\Http\Request as RequestNew;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Request as RequestOld;

And then you can reference the alias in your code.

eg: RequestNew::isMethod('post')
