How to parse URL segment Identifiers in Laravel?

I'm using OctoberCMS based on Laravel.

I'm trying to capture segments of the URL to pass into a Scope Function to filter Database Results.

Visiting localhost/user/john/nature would parse and filter back those results.

URL → Identifiers → Param Variables → Scope → Database Results

Routing Parameters

Query Scopes

Page

[builderDetails builderUser]
identifierValue ""

[builderDetails builderCategory]
identifierValue ""

[builderList]
scope = "scopeApplyType"

url = /user/:username?/:category?/:page?

Model Scope

I want to filter Database Results using URL Identifers :username and :category.

public function scopeApplyType($query) {
    $params = ['username' => $username, 'category' => $category];
    return $query->where($params);
}

Get Identifiers

This will output the requested identifers in the URL, in routes.php

Route::get('user/{username?}/{category?}', function ($username = null, $category = null) {
    echo $username;
    echo $category;
});

Output

localhost/user/john/nature

john
nature

Soultion?

A Route::get() won't work, I need something inside or passed to the Scope to define the params variables.

Something like:

$username = '{username?}'; 
$username = request()->url('username');
$username = $this->param('username'); //Components)
$username = $this->route('username');
$username = \Route::current()->getParameter('username');

All return null or error.

Like the way you would normally parse a Query

$param = "username=john&category=nature";
$username = $category = ''; 
parse_str($param);
echo $username;
echo $category;

Or similar to Request Segment

$username = request()->segment(2); //user/:username

segment(2) is a static location unlike {:category} which can change position on different URL's.
