Query string for a route

What do you want to achieve?

Inside your import method you can get mode like this

$mode = $request->query('mode');

Documentation: https://laravel.com/docs/7.x/requests#retrieving-input

So I want to be able to have

/test/import/?mode=update to always be the default, but I want to be able to pass in refresh and base it on another method.

So have /test/import/?mode=update be the default Route::get('test/import', [ 'as' => 'test.import', 'uses' => 'TestController@import' ]); like I have it now, but be able to change update to refresh and call another method.

So here is the full file that I have @michaloravec https://paiza.io/projects/hiRJJBJUsg2GnbSbESVzPg

@sema314 Like this?

public function import() {
    $mode = $request->query('mode', 'update');

    $this->update($mode);
}

public function update($mode) {
    // your code
}

Second parameter of ->query() is default.

Ahh, thanks for explaining that! How can I make "mode=update" be the default in the class I provided above?

@sema314 I updated my post.

Thanks so much! That explains a lot!

@sema314 This things you can find in documentation :)

When you will search Retrieving Input From The Query String

Would the query string be as following? @michaloravec

Route::get('test/import/?mode={mode}', [ 'as' => 'test.import', 'uses' => 'TestController@import' ]);

test/import/?mode={mode}

@sema314 No, let it like it you have it before so

Route::get('test/import', [ 'as' => 'test.import', 'uses' => 'TestController@import']);

If you use route helper you can do it like this

{{ route('test.import', ['mode' => 'update']) }}
