How to redirect back to form with input - Laravel 5

Question

How do I redirect back to my form page, with the given POST params, if my form action throws an exception?

Answer 1

In your HTML you have to use value = {{ old('') }}. Without using it, you can't get the value back because what session will store in their cache.

Like for a name validation, this will be-

Now, you can get the value after submitting it if there is error with redirect.

return redirect()->back()->withInput();

As @infomaniac says, you can also use the Input class directly,

return Redirect::back()->withInput(Input::all());

Add: If you only show the specific field, then use $request->only()

return redirect()->back()->withInput($request->only('name'));

Hope, it might work in all case, thanks.
