Laravel Request: Process User Input

Question

quick question, about User Input Request to Laravel:

public function store(Request $request)
{
    $name = $request->nameValue;      //Doc: $name = $request->('nameValue');
}

Do I have to put all Requests as mentioned in Doc or is the "quick" way also allowed?

There is no difference between $request->value and $request->('value')? Both are working fine so far - but I do not want have any security issues if Im working with $request->value only.

Thanks alot for your help :)

You mean $request->input('nameValue'). But all methods are fine. — silentwasd, Nov 16 '21 at 19:52
if you know you want a request "input" I would use `input`, if you use the dynamic property you could get an input or a route parameter — lagbox, Nov 16 '21 at 20:25

on laravel, there is a specific class named Illuminate\Http\Request which provided an object-oriented way to interact with HTTP request which are send by client-side

ACCESSING THE REQUEST (both are same speed on accessing data)

$name = $request->input('name');
$name = $request->name;

Dependency Injection & Route Parameters

use App\Http\Controllers\UserController; // call the controller

Route::put('/user/{id}', [UserController::class, 'update']); // set a slug as a parameter on routes

public function update(Request $request, $id)
{
   return $id; // access the parameter by contoller
}

Retrieving The Request Path

$uri = $request->path(); // will fetch the path

Retrieving The Request Method

$method = $request->method(); // will fetch the method of request EG: GET / POST / PUT / DESTROY

for more information check it on official documentation LARAVEL

No difference between those two input requests. you can use laravel debug bar for check the progress and performance `https://github.com/barryvdh/laravel-debugbar` – Mohamed Raza Nov 16 '21 at 20:27
Perfect thanks :) – Carlson Nov 16 '21 at 20:31

I do not think that there will be too many performance issues for different methods to access request's inputs ... anyway, I will cut an old answer for this question from this answer.

use Illuminate\Http\Request;

get() and input() are methods of different classes. First one is method of Symfony HttpFoundation Request, input() is a method of the Laravel Request class that is extending Symfony Request class.

so, I think the better one is input() method.
