how to get json object in laravel controller

Question

I'm performing and API that receive json object, but cannot read it. Actually I don't know if it should be received as Request, or how...

First I try to get the json and decode it to an array. After that, I return the same array to json in the response. But it's returned as empty ({})

That's my route

Route::post('enviar_encuestas', 'EncuestaUsuarioController@store');

And in my controller, for that method I perform the following

public function store(Request $request){
    $users = json_decode($request);
    return response()->json($users);
}

In Postman I send perform the following HTTP POST Request to

https://encuestasapi.informixsys.com.ar/public/enviar_encuestas

I select Body and raw, after that I select JSON(application/json) and write the following

{
        "id_encuesta" : 1,
        "email" : "[email protected]",
        "razon_social" : "asd",
        "nro_ref_autopack" : 1
}

You could retrieve the posted json data and return it back as json through:

public function store(Request $request){
    $users = json_decode($request->json()->all());
    return response()->json($users);
}

$request->all() returns an associative array, no need to do json_decode given that you the $request is an instance of Illuminate\Http\Request. To return you can just do return response()->json($request->all());

Also, to decode JSON to an array, use the true flag json_decode($json, true); to return an associative array
