URL Helpers

Available Methods

action asset secure_asset route secure_url url

Method Listing

`action()`

The action function generates a URL for the given controller action. You do not need to pass the full namespace to the controller. Instead, pass the controller class name relative to the App\Http\Controllers namespace:

$url = action('HomeController@getIndex');

If the method accepts route parameters, you may pass them as the second argument to the method:

$url = action('UserController@profile', ['id' => 1]);

`asset()`

Generate a URL for an asset using the current scheme of the request (HTTP or HTTPS):

$url = asset('img/photo.jpg');

`secure_asset()`

Generate a URL for an asset using HTTPS:

echo secure_asset('foo/bar.zip', $title, $attributes = []);

`route()`

The route function generates a URL for the given named route:

$url = route('routeName');

If the route accepts parameters, you may pass them as the second argument to the method:

$url = route('routeName', ['id' => 1]);

By default, the route function generates an absolute URL. If you wish to generate a relative URL, you may pass false as the third parameter:

$url = route('routeName', ['id' => 1], false);

`secure_url()`

The secure_url function generates a fully qualified HTTPS URL to the given path:

echo secure_url('user/profile');

echo secure_url('user/profile', [1]);

`url()`

The url function generates a fully qualified URL to the given path:

echo url('user/profile');

echo url('user/profile', [1]);

If no path is provided, a Illuminate\Routing\UrlGenerator instance is returned:

echo url()->current();
echo url()->full();
echo url()->previous();
