route().current() returning 'undefined' for form POST routes

See original GitHub issue

Hello - first off, great package, thanks so much!

I have encountered an issue where the current route value for POST routes always comes back ‘undefined’. This does not happen for my GET routes, including when I change an undefined POST route into a GET route for testing purposes. I can also change a working GET route to POST and it always returns undefined. These routes are all defined in my web.php file using the ‘web’ middleware grouping.

I also tried adding one of my POST routes to the array of excluded URIs in VerifyCsrfToken in case it was a glaring CSRF token issue, but that did not change any behavior.

Expected Behavior

route().current() should provide me with the name of my POST routes, as it does for GET routes.

Current Behavior

route().current() returns ‘undefined’ for POST routes.
