What's the best practice accessing $_GET values in Laravel?

Question

Is there a better way in accessing $_GET rather than the variable itself in Laravel or is that it?

I need multiple parameters for an API like /users?q=keyword&order=desc&limit=5

Is there a cleaner, safer and Laravel-ish way to access the $_GET values?

Thanks.

You can use Input facade to reach those.

You can either do:

Input::all();

to retrieve all of the query parameters, or:

$q     = Input::get('q'); // will return 'keyword' for your example
$order = Input::get('order'); // will return 'desc' for your example
$limit = Input::get('limit'); // will return '5' for your example

Purely FYI: `Input::get()` will retrieve both $_GET and $_POST variables. – fideloper Jul 21 '13 at 03:02

Input::query shall be used to access only $_GET values. – Ionut Bajescu Sep 02 '15 at 11:44
Note: The "get" method is used for all request types (GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE), not just GET requests. – Ali Hesari Dec 01 '16 at 08:39
