laravel, auto-fill form fields from URL parameters - php

Question

I'm trying to figure out how to properly set URL parameters to auto fill form fields in laravel
The form works and properly submits data but I have a URL like testsite.com/register?email=email#test.com&password=dK94*DFj
and I'd like to auto fill the form with the email and password from the URL
the form:
<form method="POST" action="{{ route('auth.register') }}">
<div class="reg-card reg-margin-bottom">
<div class="reg-card-content">
<div class="form-group">
<label for="email">Email Address</label>
<input type="email" class="form-control" id="email" name="email" required value="{{ $invitation->email }}" />
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label for="password">New Password</label>
<input type="password" id="password" class="form-control" required name="password" />
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="reg-card">
<div class="reg-card-content">
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary btn-block">Create account</button>
</div>
</div>
</form>
Can I set this so that, as long as the params exist in the URL, then they autofill and disable those fields?

Answer 1

You can get it by using
{{ request()->email }} and {{ request()->password }}
However, passing password in the url is no a good idea though!

Answer 2

if you want a cleaner URL, uou can create a route for the URl register.
Route::get('/register/{email?}/{hash?}',function($email,$hash){
return view("viewFile",['email'=>$email,'password'=>$hash]);
});
In your view
<form method="POST" action="{{ route('auth.register') }}">
<div class="reg-card reg-margin-bottom">
<div class="reg-card-content">
<div class="form-group">
<label for="email">Email Address</label>
<input type="email" class="form-control" id="email" name="email" required value="{{ $email }}" />
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label for="password">New Password</label>
<input type="password" id="password" class="form-control" required name="password" value="{{$password}}" />
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="reg-card">
<div class="reg-card-content">
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary btn-block">Create account</button>
</div>
</div>
</form>
I don't recommend you to pass a password in the url, but if it is a hash to validate that the email is the correct one, is a good idea I do it when I want to verified that the info is not changed by the user. Also this will need to hash the email and compare the hash with the one on the url.
