Use form parameters in a route with Laravel 5

Imagine I have the following in my routes.php file:

Route::get('/test/{system}/{link}', function($system,$link)
{
    return "test ok";
});

Then, I wanna access this route with a form from my view:

<form action="/" method="get">
    <input type="text" name="system">
    <input type="text" name="link">
    <button type="submit">Go!</button>
<form>

What would be the best way to do that? I know I can do something like:

Route::get('/',function(){
    $input = Request::only('link','system');
    $url = 'test/'.$input['system'].'/'.$input['link'];
    return redirect($url);
});

But I'm not sure if it's the correct way to achieve it.

Thanks in advance!

You can do this. I'm not sure if this is the best process.

In routes.php, do this:

Route::get('/form', function(){
    return View::make('formview');
});

Route::get('/formaction', function(){
    $link = Request::input('link');
    $system = Request::input('system');
    return "$link";
});

And in the view, as usual, the following:

<form method="get" action="formaction">
    System: <input type="text" name="system" />
    Link: <input type="text" name="link" />
    <input type="submit" value="ok" />
</form>

The Request of Laravel does not depend on the verb used for the request.

You could have js change the form action and then submit it. Your way is ok, but make sure to put it at the end of the routes file. I would actually have the form submit to some specific route (instead of / maybe /redirect-to or something) and from there redirect.
