Ajax call with Laravel Form - ajax

Question

Hello can someone please help me because I wanted to use ajax in my laravel form, when everytime I hit 'CREATE POST' button, the table contains all my posts will hide and then the form will show, and when clicking the submit button in the form the table will then show with its new data inserted below the table and the form will hide. I have a code but it is not working.
Controller Code:
public function store(Request $request)
{
//validate the data
$this->validate($request, array(
'title' => 'required|max:255',
'slug' => 'required|alpha_dash|min:5|max:255|unique:posts,slug',
'category_id' => 'required|integer',
'body' => 'required',
'featured_image' => 'image|nullable|max:1999'
));
//store in the database
$post = new Post;
$post->title = $request->title;
$post->slug = $request->slug;
$post->category_id = $request->category_id;
$post->body = Purifier::clean($request->body);
//Save Our Image
if ($request->hasFile('featured_image')) {
$image = $request->file('featured_image');
$filename = time() . '.' . $image->getClientOriginalExtension();
$location = public_path('images/'. $filename);
Image::make($image)->resize(800, 400)->save($location);
$post->image = $filename;
}
$post->save();
return response()->json($post);
// Session::flash('success', 'The blog post was succesfully saved!');
// //redirect to another page
// return redirect()->route('posts.show', $post->id);
}
Route:
Route::resource('/posts', 'PostController');
Route::post('/addpost', 'PostController#store');
Form Code:
{!! Form::open(['id' => 'form-post', 'method' => 'POST', 'route' => 'posts.store', 'data-parsley-validate' => '', 'files' => true]) !!}
{{ csrf_field() }}
<div class="form-group">
<label class="control-label" for="title">Title:</label>
<input type="text" name="title" class="form-control" data-error="Please enter title." required />
<div class="help-block with-errors"></div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label class="control-label" for="title">Slug:</label>
<input type="text" name="slug" class="form-control" data-error="Please enter title." required />
<div class="help-block with-errors"></div>
</div>
{{ Form::label('category_id', 'Category') }}
<select id="add-category" class="form-control" name="category_id">
#foreach($categories as $category)
<option value='{{ $category->id }}'>{{ $category->name }}</option>
#endforeach
</select>
{{ Form::label('featured_image', 'Upload Featured Image:', ['class' => 'form-spacing-top']) }}
{{ Form::file('featured_image',["id" => 'add-image', "class" => 'form-control-file']) }}
{{ Form::label('body', 'Post Body:') }}
{{ Form::textarea('body', null, array('id' => 'add-body', 'class' => 'form-control')) }}
{{ Form::button('Create Post', array('id' => 'submit-post', 'class' => 'btn btn-success btn-lg btn-block', 'style' => 'margin-top: 20px;'))}}
{!! Form::close() !!}
</div>
</div>
Ajax Code:
$(document).on('click', '.create-post', function() {
$('.create-form').css('display','block');
$('.posts-table').css('display','none');
});
$('#submit-post').click(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
var action = $('#form-post').attr('route');
var title = $("#form-post").find("input[name='title']").val();
var slug = $("#form-post").find("input[name='slug']").val();
var category_id = $("#add-category").val();
var featured_image = $("#add-image").val();
var body = $("#add-body").val();
$.ajax({
type : 'POST',
url : "/addpost",
headers: {
'X-CSRF-TOKEN' : $('input[name="_token"]').val()
},
data : {
title: title,
slug: slug,
category_id: category_id,
featured_image: featured_image,
body: body
},
success: function(data){
$('.create-form').css('display','none');
$('.posts-table').css('display','block');
$('.table tbody').append("<tr id='" + data.id + "' class='item'><th>" + data.id + "</th><td>" + data.title + "</td><td>" + data.body + "</td><td>date</td><td><button class='show-modal btn btn-success' data-id='" + data.id + "' data-title='" + data.title + "' data-slug='" + data.slug + "' data-category='" + data.category_id + "' data-image='" + data.featured_image + "' data-body='" + data.body + "'><span class='glyphicon glyphicon-eye-open'></span> Show</button><button class='edit-modal btn btn-info' data-id='" + data.id + "' data-title='" + data.title + "' data-slug='" + data.slug + "' data-category='" + data.category_id + "' data-image='" + data.featured_image + "' data-body='" + data.body + "'><span class='glyphicon glyphicon-edit'></span> Edit</button><button class='delete-modal btn btn-danger' data-id='" + data.id + "' data-title='" + data.title + "' data-slug='" + data.slug + "' data-category='" + data.category_id + "' data-image='" + data.featured_image + "' data-body='" + data.body + "'><span class='glyphicon glyphicon-trash'></span> Delete</button></td></tr>");
console.log(data);
}
});

It's not enough information about the error.
Try dd() in your controller & check it in [F12 -> Network].
And since you're using ajax to sending request, there no need to define options (action, route) in Form. remove it.
