How to retrieve array of objects sent by Ajax in laravel

Question

I am using Laravel with Vuejs and AXIOS for HTTP requests. I am sending a post request with the array of objects. So in my laravel store function how can I retrieve that data from the $request?

my questions array looks like:

             data:{
                questions:[{
                    question:'',
                    opt1:''
                            },
                     {
                 question:'',
                 opt1:''
                     }
                     ]
            }

Laravel Store method in controller:

  public function store(Request $request)
{
  return $request;

}

vue code:

axios.post('/addTest',this.$data.questions).then(response=>{
                    console.log(response.data);
                });

in this code questions is an array of objects.

Show the laravel code you have for /addTest now. (A route?) — acdcjunior

In Laravel you have a store method and then you returning the request?Why you are doing that?To see the request from frontend? If so then I recommend you to use postman for this.

Postman is easy to use and you can send a similar request that frontend sends.Then in laravel store function you can do

dd($request) //to output the request that postman sends

You said: how can I retrieve that data from the $request

If you send from frontend something like

{ id: 1 }

Then in laravel you can do

$id = $request->get('id');

Below you can see how i send a request with postman,and how output the request.

If the this.$data.questions is an array, you can simply use the input() method to pull all of the questions:

$questions = $request->input();

Let say you only want to pull the question property of the second item, you can do it like so in Laravel:

$secondQuestion = $request->input('1.question');

However, it would also be nice if you pass the questions as an object:

axios.post('/addTest', { questions: this.$data.questions });

And your PHP part will look like this:

$questions = $request->input('questions');

Hope this gives you some ideas.

@RakeshKohali The $request->input() method above should return an array. So you can simply use a basic for or foreach loop.
