Laravel reset password route not working

Question

I am building custom views to reset passwords. The routes looks like this:

  Route::get('password/reset', 'Auth\ForgotPasswordController@showLinkRequestForm')->name('password.reset');
  Route::post('password/email', 'Auth\ForgotPasswordController@sendResetLinkEmail')->name('password.email');
  Route::get('password/reset/{token}', 'Auth\ResetPasswordController@showResetForm')->name('password.reset.token');
  Route::post('password/reset', 'Auth\ResetPasswordController@reset');

In ResetPasswordController.php I have added this:

//Show form to seller where they can reset password
    public function showResetForm(Request $request, $token = null)
    {
        return view('auth.passwords.reset')->with(
            ['token' => $token, 'email' => $request->email]
        );
    }

The link sent to me looks like this:

https://myapp.dev/password/reset?451c70284a9d4b41123c4ec3efe83602b6cb955427ac48835200a45980bcf9f3

If I now enter that link I will go straight to the password/reset view and not the password/reset/{token}

However if I change the link in my broswer to

https://myapp.dev/password/reset/451c70284a9d4b41123c4ec3efe83602b6cb955427ac48835200a45980bcf9f3 (changing "?" to "/") I it works

So why doesnt the ? version of the URL work? I am using laravel 5.5

And since I dotn use the Auth:routes() is there any way to see what routes laravel generates when you use that?

Solution

There are two different things with parameters.

1. Route Parameters: These are included in the routes with '/' as in your example. You can get them by:

   $request->parameter('parameter_name'); $request->parameters(); // for all parameters

2. Request Parameters: These are request parameters which attached in the URL after '?'. Parameters are sent this way in GET request. You can get them by:

   $request->input('parameter_name'); $request->all(); // for all parameters

How should I then change my code in order to get Route::get('password/reset/{token}', 'Auth\ResetPasswordController@showResetForm')->name('passwor‌​d.reset.token'); to work?

Have you customised the email template or using laravel's default?

I use Laravel default

Auth::routes() are defined in Illuminate/Routing/Router.php's auth() function. compare your route with those routes and it might solve the problem. Laravel defines the token route as password.reset
