Laravel Pagination links not including other GET parameters

Question

I am using Eloquent together with Laravel 4\'s Pagination class.

Problem: When there are some GET parameters in the URL, eg: http://site.com/u

Answer 1

Use this construction, to keep all input params but page

{!! $myItems->appends(Request::capture()->except('page'))->render() !!}

Why?

1) you strip down everything that added to request like that

  $request->request->add(['variable' => 123]);

2) you don't need $request as input parameter for the function

3) you are excluding "page"

PS) and it works for Laravel 5.1
