Laravel 4 - Blade Templating - How To Properly Link To Route?

I want to create a resourceful link with Laravel. Normally I just use the {{ link_to_route('Yadayadayada.route', 'LinkName', $params }} But in this case I am using a Template with

Solution 1:

Use URL::route() to get just a link:

<ahref="{{ URL::route('user/profile/', $params) }}"><iclass="icon-dashboard"></i><spanclass="menu-text"> Dashboard </span></a>

Solution 2:

If you Route use a Closure, you can use URL::to(), like this

<ahref="{{ URL::to('home/otherpage', $params) }}"><iclass="icon-dashboard"></i><spanclass="menu-text"> Dashboard </span></a>

As @orrd sugested, in general terms is better to use named routes, so it can be easily change the URL later:

<ahref="{{ URL::route('routeName', $params) }}"><iclass="icon-dashboard"></i><spanclass="menu-text"> Dashboard </span></a>

(ref: https://laravel.com/docs/5.0/helpers#urls)

Solution 3:

if you define Route name you can use that in your blade :

 Route::get('/admin/transfer/forms-list', [
    'as'   => 'transfer.formsList',
    'uses' => 'Website\TransferController@IndexTransferForms'
]);

now you can use that in your blade like this :

<a href="{{URL::route('transfer.formsList')}}"type="submit">
                    discard</a>

Solution 4:

There are no of ways to use route in blade:

1. Use Action

{{URL::action('DemoController@index',$params)}}

2. Use Route

{{ URL::route('route/', $params) }}

3. Use URL to

{{ URL::to('route/name', $params)) }}

Solution 5:

Use URL::route() to get just a link:

<ahref="{{ URL::route('user/profile/', $params) }}"><iclass="icon-dashboard"></i><spanclass="menu-text"> Dashboard </span></a>
