our users access our site with a unique parameter on the url. ie http://example.com/hire-agreement?u=unique_param
I've set up a route to a view -
Route::get('/hire-agreement', function () {
return view('hire-agreement');
});
I have 2 questions.
$_GET["name"]) ?thanks Craig.
you don't need anything more in the url section. and to use or get url parameter use laravel request() helper.
$value = request('key');
in view you can print a key like
{{ request('name') }}
complete example for you using request helper
Route::get('/hire-agreement', function () {
$name = request('name'); //put the key in a variable
return view('hire-agreement', compact('name')); //send the variable to the view
});
and then in view you can use the variable as
{{ $name }}
if you don't want to use a variable you can use directly request helper in view
{{ request('name') }}
you can use Request class too.
Route::get('/hire-agreement', function (Request $request) {
$name = $request->name;
return view('hire-agreement', compact('name'));
});
however i would suggest you to use a controller. don't use closure in route file. u can't cache them when needed.
$value = request('key'); I dont understand why I need this line?
http://example.com/hire-agreement?u=unique_param
in laravel you can access both post and get can be access by Request class instance or request() helper so you can do
with helper request()
Route::get('/hire-agreement', function () {
dd(request('u')) // this getting from url ?u=unique_param this u param
return view('hire-agreement');
});
with Class Request or
Route::get('/hire-agreement', function (Request $request) {
dd($request->u)) // this getting from url ?u=unique_param this u param
return view('hire-agreement');
});
here you can
You better pass the request to a controller and handle it there, it's easier and cleaner that way.however if you want to got straight from route to view, you better use the below method. put this in your route file
Route::get('/hire-agreement/{param}', function ($param) {
return view('hire-agreement')->with($param);
});
in the view you can access the param like this
<p>{{$param}}</p>
now if user request "/hire-agreement/1234" your $param in the view will contain 1234, Also if you would like to access get parameters in the url you can do it like this
{{Request::input('q')}}
