laravel- request empty in controller using ajax - ajax

Question

I am using laravel 6.0 and i am building crud application. I have following jquery code in view file
function updaterecord(id) {
$('#modalupdate').on('submit', function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
$.ajax({
url: 'update/'+id,
method: 'post',
success: function (res) {
console.log(res);
}
})
});
}
And this is the code in controller
public function update(Request $request, $id='') {
$country = $request->input('countryname');
$sortname = $request->input('sortname');
$phonecode = $request->input('phonecode');
//return $country.$sortname.$phonecode;
return $request;
// DB::table('countries')->where('id',$id)->update(
// [
// 'name' => $country,
// 'sortname' => $sortname,
// 'phonecode' => $phonecode,
// ]);
}
The problem is $request returns empty.
If I don't use ajax then I am getting all input values. But I dont know why its not working for ajax request. Also I have added this line in view file
headers: {
'X-CSRF-TOKEN': '{!! csrf_token() !!}'
}
});
Please help me to solve this problem

Answer 1

You are not passing your form data. Try this:
function updaterecord(id) {
$('#modalupdate').on('submit', function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
$.ajax({
url: 'update/' + id,
method: 'post',
data: $(this).serialize();
success: function (res) {
console.log(res);
}
})
});
}

laravel by default does not send raw data , you have to convert your data to json, the best practice is :
return response()->json([
'data' => $request
]);

Answer 3

Just try this code for example and see if you get any hint.
function updaterecord(id) {
$('#modalupdate').on('submit', function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
$.ajax({
url: 'update/' + id,
method: 'post',
data: {'countryname' : 'India','sortname' : 'Sort Name', 'phonecode' : '022'};
success: function (res) {
console.log(res);
}
})
});
}
See if you are getting any response.
