Laravel 4: get url parameter from controller

Question

I'm new to laravel 4 and I'm currently having the following problem: In my routes.php I have the line:

Route::get('maps/{map_type}', 'MapsController@loadMaps');

And in my MapsController I'd like to get the {map_type} to use it.

So my question: How can I retrieve map_type in my Controller?

Your first argument in your loadMaps method is your map type.

public function loadMaps($map_type) {
    return $map_type;
}

Take a look at the first two code snippets on http://laravel.com/docs/controllers.

Controllers receive parameters as parameters in the called function:

class MapsController extends BaseController {
    public function loadMaps($map_type) {}
}
