Generating query strings in Laravel 4

Question

I have a named route

Route::get('login/facebook', array(
      'as'   > 'login.facebook.authorise', 
      'uses' => 'AuthController@getFBAuthorise'
));

and want to produce a URL pointing to it with a query string appended.

For example:

URL::route('login.facebook.authorise', array("next"=>'/dashboard/')

would produce

/login/facebook?next=/dashboard/

Is something like this built in to the framework? If not, what is the best way to try and do this?

Thanks.

The URL helper can do this.

http://laravel.com/docs/helpers#urls

echo link_to_route('route.name', $title, $parameters = array(), $attributes = array());

EDIT: To get only the URL :

http://laravel.com/docs/routing#named-routes

$url = URL::route('route.name', $parameters);

That generates an HTML link with tags - not a raw URL

Sorry. URL::route() will do what you want.

Neither link_to_route() nor URL::route() will create a URL with a query string added to it. Laravel route and URL functions just aren't made to work with query strings. For that, just use PHP's http_build_query().

I am a bit late to the party

Just dove into the classes and methods for building urls and you can do this:

link_to_route('login.facebook.authorise','Facebook Login',array('next'=>'/Dashboard/'))

So. the array will always fallback to query params unless the names are declared in the route.

If the use case for this is redirecting to a page after logging in then you could use

Redirect::intended('dashboard');

As seen here http://laravel.com/docs/security#authenticating-users

Sorry if that's not what you're trying to achieve.

I knew about the intended routing but this is to be used across other parts of the site also. I also want a quick way to generate urls with tracking information. In emails I send out, I want to build complex query strings. Is there a built in way to do this?
