How to compose routes in Laravel 5 for get form?

Question

Laravel

Hello, please tell me, there is a search form:

<form action="/search" method="get">
  <input name="q" type="text" class="text" value="Поиск по сайту"/>
  <div class="button"><span><input type="submit" value="Поиск" /></span></div>
</form>

routes to this url: /search?q=test
how to make routes for this url?
or how to submit a form to a url like this?:

Route::get('/search/{str}', "[email protected]");

Answer 1

The query parameters are not part of the route, so the route here will be just search, and in the controller itself, you can call $req->q (or $req->input('q')) to get the data you need. Since both the response to the form and the output of this form go through a GET request, in any case, both cases will have to be handled by the same controller method.

Answer 2

It's better to just Route::post('/search', '[email protected]').
And take the text from the POST parameter.

Answer 3

This is not true. For search in general it is necessary to use post requests. You need to understand the clear boundaries between get and post.
