Hello I'm creating API using REST and Laravel following this article.
Everything works well as expected.
Now, I want to map GET request to recognise variable using "?".
For example: domain/api/v1/todos?start=1&limit=2
Below is the content of my routes.php :
Route::any('api/v1/todos/(:num?)', array(
'as' => 'api.todos',
'uses' => 'api.todos@index'
));
my controllers/api/todos.php :
class Api_Todos_Controller extends Base_Controller {
public $restful = true;
public function get_index($id = null) {
if(is_null($id)) {
return Response::eloquent(Todo::all(1));
} else {
$todo = Todo::find($id);
if (is_null($todo)) {
return Response::json('Todo not found', 404);
} else {
return Response::eloquent($todo);
}
}
}
}
How to recognise get parameter using "?" ?
In laravel 5.3
I want to show the get param in my view
Step 1 : my route
Route::get('my_route/{myvalue}', 'myController@myfunction');
Step 2 : Write a function inside your controller
public function myfunction($myvalue)
{
return view('get')->with('myvalue', $myvalue);
}
Now you're returning the parameter that you passed to the view
Step 3 : Showing it in my View
Inside my view you i can simply echo it by using
{{ $myvalue }}
So If you have this in your url
http://127.0.0.1/yourproject/refral/[email protected]
Then it will print [email protected] in you view file
hope this helps someone.
Query params are used like this:
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
class MyController extends BaseController{
public function index(Request $request){
$param = $request->query('param');
}
This is the best practice. This way you will get the variables from GET method as well as POST method
public function index(Request $request) {
$data=$request->all();
dd($data);
}
//OR if you want few of them then
public function index(Request $request) {
$data=$request->only('id','name','etc');
dd($data);
}
//OR if you want all except few then
public function index(Request $request) {
$data=$request->except('__token');
dd($data);
}
We have similar situation right now and as of this answer, I am using laravel 5.6 release.
I will not use your example in the question but mine, because it's related though.
I have route like this:
Route::name('your.name.here')->get('/your/uri', 'YourController@someMethod');
Then in your controller method, make sure you include
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
and this should be above your controller, most likely a default, if generated using php artisan
, now to get variable from the url it should look like this:
public function someMethod(Request $request)
{
$foo = $request->input("start");
$bar = $request->input("limit");
// some codes here
}
Regardless of the HTTP verb, the input() method may be used to retrieve user input.
https://laravel.com/docs/5.6/requests#retrieving-input
Hope this help.
In laravel 5.3 $start = Input::get('start');
returns NULL
To solve this
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Input;
//then inside you controller function use
$input = Input::all(); // $input will have all your variables,
$start = $input['start'];
$limit = $input['limit'];
It is not very nice to use native php resources like $_GET
as Laravel gives us easy ways to get the variables. As a matter of standard, whenever possible use the resources of the laravel itself instead of pure PHP.
There is at least two modes to get variables by GET in Laravel ( Laravel 5.x or greater):
Mode 1
Route:
Route::get('computers={id}', 'ComputersController@index');
Request (POSTMAN or client...):
http://localhost/api/computers=500
Controler - You can access the {id}
paramter in the Controlller by:
public function index(Request $request, $id){
return $id;
}
Mode 2
Route:
Route::get('computers', 'ComputersController@index');
Request (POSTMAN or client...):
http://localhost/api/computers?id=500
Controler - You can access the ?id
paramter in the Controlller by:
public function index(Request $request){
return $request->input('id');
}
I haven't tested on other Laravel versions but on 5.3-5.8 you reference the query parameter as if it were a member of the Request
class
.
http://example.com/path?page=2
Route::get('/path', function(Request $request){
dd($request->page);
});
//or in your controller
public function foo(Request $request){
dd($request->page);
}
//NOTE: If you are wondering where the request instance is coming from, Laravel automatically injects the request instance from the IOC container
//output
"2"
We can also pass in a default value which is returned if a parameter doesn't exist. It's much cleaner than a ternary expression that you'd normally use with the request globals
//wrong way to do it in Laravel
$page = isset($_POST['page']) ? $_POST['page'] : 1;
//do this instead
$request->get('page', 1);
//returns page 1 if there is no page
//NOTE: This behaves like $_REQUEST array. It looks in both the
//request body and the query string
$request->input('page', 1);
$page = request('page', 1);
//returns page 1 if there is no page parameter in the query string
//it is the equivalent of
$page = 1;
if(!empty($_GET['page'])
$page = $_GET['page'];
The default parameter is optional therefore one can omit it
While the input method retrieves values from entire request payload (including the query string), the query method will only retrieve values from the query string
//this is the equivalent of retrieving the parameter
//from the $_GET global array
$page = $request->query('page');
//with a default
$page = $request->query('page', 1);
$page = Request::get('page');
//with a default value
$page = Request::get('page', 1);
