Extending UrlGenerator with url alter method

[litvinchuk]

This method basically conveniently changes parameters of the current url.

Example URL:

Route::get('/{lang}/users/profile/{id}/article/{slug}', function($lang, $id, $slug) {
 // ...
});

# http://laravel/en/users/profile/12/article/super-awesome-article

Case 1 — single parameter:

URL::alter(['lang' => 'uk'])
# http://laravel/uk/users/profile/12/article/super-awesome-article

Case 2 — multiple parameters:

URL::alter(['lang' => 'uk', 'slug' => 'best-of-the-best-of-the-best'])
# http://laravel/uk/users/profile/12/article/best-of-the-best-of-the-best

Case 3 — multiple parameters with GET params:

URL::alter(['lang' => 'uk', 'slug' => 'best-of-the-best-of-the-best', 'page' => 7, 'order' => 'desc'])
# http://laravel/uk/users/profile/12/article/best-of-the-best-of-the-best?page=7&order=desc

What if a route parameter and querystring parameter are named equal and I wanted to change both?

[JosephSilber]

I don't think grabbing the naked $_GET array like that is in the spirit of anything else being done here.

How are you ever gonna test that?

@JosephSilber is correct.

Sorry, but I can't allow this in.
