11. The cleanest way seems to be using the url() helper:
2 {{ url()->previous() }}

42. URL::previous() works for me in my Laravel 5.1 project. Here is Laravel 5.1
5 doc for previous() method, which is accessible through URL Facade.

73. You can still try alternatives, in your views you can do:
8
9 {{ redirect()->getUrlGenerator()->previous() }}
10 OR
11 {{ redirect()->back()->getTargetUrl() }}
1Route::post('/user/profile', function () {
2 // Update the user's profile...
3
4 return redirect('/dashboard')->with('status', 'Profile updated!');
5});
