How to retain selected value of dropdown when redirecting - php

Question

I'm currently trying to make dropdown of date to filter data. The filtering process itself working fine but I want to retain the selected date. Based on my reading you can use old helper to retain the data but it does not work for me. I'm still new using laravel.
Below are my code:
(view)
#props(['expense'])
<x-card>
<header class="text-center">
<h2 class="text-3xl font-bold uppercase mb-1">
Daily Report
</h2>
</header>
<div>
<h3 class="text-xl">
<div>
<form method="GET" action="/">
<label for="date">Daily expense on:</label>
<input class="border border-black rounded p-2" type="date" id="date" name="date" value="{{old('date')}}" />
<input class="bg-laravel text-white rounded py-2 px-4 hover:bg-black" type="submit" />
</form>
#unless(count($expense) == 0)
#foreach($expense as $data)
<li>{{$data->category}} ${{$data->amount}}</li>
#endforeach
#else
<p>No expenses found</p>
#endunless
</div>
</h3>
</div>
</x-card>
(controller)
public function index() {
return view('expenses.index', [
'expenses' => Expense::latest()->filter(request(['date']))->get()
]);
}
Hope my explanation is clear. Please inform me if it's not.
