How to remove a query string from an url?

Have you tried

request()->except('category');

?

Yeah, it automatically merges with the previously selected query that was added to the URL. Another option is doing it yourself

return resource()->fullUrl() . '?' . Arr::query(['status' => 'published']);

This is still pretty clean ;)

@nakov except returns an array of items that are added to the query of the URL. In this case that won't work because we generate the URL again.

@bobbybouwmann thanks :) didn't got the point on why doing that :)

Thank you @bobbybouwmann for directing me, even though your solution doesn't work with me b/c my dynamic part is the query I want to remove from, not to leave in the url.

Fortunately, Arr::query() is exactly what I was missing to append a query to a named route with a parameter.:):):) I couldn't find that helper method in the Laravel docs.

I ended up with the following solution:

$oldQuery = request()->query(); // status=published&category=sport

$newQuery = Arr::except($oldQuery, ['category']);

$url = route('users.articles.index', [$user, Arr::query($newQuery)]) 
//users/{user}/articles?status=published

@minjon and @bobbybouwmann now, I believe that what I've shown above will work in this case :)

$url = route('users.articles.index', [$user] + request()->except('category')); 

Will produce the same result :)

@nakov Thank you so much for taking time to share, I was really stuck. Works great, and allows us to remove as many queries as we want, including 'page', which is very tricky with the fullUrlWithQuery() method.:)

request()->fullUrlWithQuery(['status'=>'published', 'category => NULL]) Will remove the NULLed parameter
