using query strings in laravel

Question

In Laravel, building a route takes the form:

Route::get('testing', function(){
    return 0 //whatever
});

If I want to include a query string, so that I could navigate to localhost/testing?p1=blah&p2=blah2..., is there a built in way to do this? The only thing I can think of is to use a single variable and parse the string myself:

Route::get('testing\\?{query}, function($query){ //I'm not sure if you have to escape the questionmark
    //parse the string manually
    return 0 //whatever
});

I feel like there must be a built in way to do this a little better, but I can't figure out what it is.

Query strings are not part of the route. You can get to them with request($key):

Route::get('testing', function(){
    return request('p1');
});

You can also get an associative array with everything in the query string, by calling the all method:

Route::get('testing', function(){
    return request()->all();
});

Note: if you're using an older version of Laravel, use Input::get() & Input::all(), respectively.

You can also do request()->all() or request()->get('p1')
