Hello,
I have to access to the gallery GET route.
I'd like to have to way access :
The usual way to do that is to write the params in the URL : http://localhost:8000/gallery?type=my-super-type.
Is it possible to use a GET route like http://localhost:8000/gallery without showing the params (but transfering the params) ?
Thanks for your help ;).

Yes, I am sure you can by using a POST request and using MVC.
php artisan make:model Photo -mcr
This Will create your model, migration and resource controller.
Route::resource('photo', PhotoController::class);
The route will create a resource route that you can check by php artisan route:list
Then you will use
In blade.
On my phone, bad writing. Hope this helps.
@Randy_Johnson Hello thank you for your answer, with POST method, I know how to do, but with GET method ?
Probably you can't do this with GET method. If you care about the data, then you may use hashing data. Ref: https://github.com/vinkla/laravel-hashids
Otherwise, you need to use POST method.
@tisuchi Ok ... I don't need to care about data, I just wanted to avoid to show the filters. Thank you very much ;).
you are thinking is in incorrectly. The GET method is for passing filters & query parameters to server which will be visible in the browser address bar. you can't do anything to hide them using get method.
however @randy_johnson said you can use post method to send query parameters and filters to the server in the form of form field key-value pairs. This ways these fields will not be visible to anyone neither it will save in history.
rest will be as it is.
Please see one of my sites https://speakernet.co.uk/talks
When you change the filters on the top right, it does a POST to the database with the new filter setting. The controller stores this choice in session, then redirects to the GET route that shows the talks.
The Get route applies any filters that are in session before returning the list of talks.
Note that this is not perfect. If you open another browser tab, you will see that changes in one tab affect the other (since the session is shared between all open tabs)
@Snapey Hello ... thank you very much ... effectively it's really a good idea to use sessions, so it is possible to display the route without showing the params ;). Thanks.
