Laravel redirect to post method - rest

Question

To stay basic I would like to create a bookmark app
I have a simple bookmarklet
javascript:location.href='http://zas.dev/add?url='+encodeURIComponent(location.href)
I created a rest controller
<?php
use zas\Repositories\DbLinkRepository;
class LinksController extends BaseController {
protected $link;
function __construct(DbLinkRepository $link) {
$this->link=$link;
// ...
//$this->beforeFilter('auth.basic', array('except' => array('index', 'show', 'store')));
// ...
}
public function index()
{
//return Redirect::to('home');
}
public function create()
{
}
public function store()
{
return 'hello';
//$this->link->addLink(Input::get('url'));
//return Redirect::to(Input::get('url'));
}
public function show($id)
{
//$url = $this->link->getUrl($id);
//return Redirect::to($url);
}
public function edit($id)
{
}
public function update($id){
}
public function destroy($id){
}
}
in the routes.php, I created a ressource
Route::resource('links','LinksController');
and as I want to redirect /add to the store method I added
Route::get('/add',function(){
return Redirect::action('LinksController#store');
});
but it never display the hello message, in place it redirects me to
http://zas.dev/links
I also tried with
return Redirect::route('links.store');
without much success
thanks for your help

Answer 1

Ok I now get what you are trying to do. This will work:
Route::get('add', 'LinksController#store');
Remove:
Route::resource('links','LinksController');
and remove:
Route::get('/add',function(){
return Redirect::action('LinksController#store');
});
Sorry it took so long!

The problem is that once you Redirect::, you loose all the Input values, so you should manually give them to your controller when you do the redirect, like so :
Redirect::route('links.store', ["url" => Input::get("url")]);
Finally add an $url parameter to your store method to receive the value we give it in the previous method, like this :
public function store($url) {
$this->link->addLink($url);
return Redirect::to($url);
}
