get the current discount for a given user in laravel-spark - laravel

Question

I'm using laravel-spark to handle stripe payments on my website, the users can apply coupons on their subscriptions so they will have discounts, now I want to show user discount on the profile page.
I searched on the spark documentation about how to retrieve the current discount and they didn't mention that anywhere.
I found that laravel-spark has this feature implemented in the CouponController method current()
CouponController :
/**
* Get the current discount for the given user.
*
* #param Request $request
* #param string $userId
* #return Response
*/
public function current(Request $request, $userId)
{
$user = Spark::user()->where('id', $userId)->firstOrFail();
if ($coupon = $this->coupons->forBillable($user)) {
return response()->json($coupon->toArray());
}
abort(204);
}
I tried to call this method in my view with Vue as the following:
axios.get('/coupon/user/'+ this.user.id).then(response => {
console.log("response : ", response);
coupon = response.data.data;
if (coupon) {
//do something
}
}, error => {
console.log("some error occurred", error);
});
but the response is always empty with 204 status code, even if the user has a valid coupon on his stripe account.
any suggestions ?!

Finally I found that this method inside the coupon controller get the valid coupons that applied to customers not to subscriptions,
so all you need is to apply the coupons per customer not per subscription on stripe.
or you can write your logic to retrieve discounts via stripe API's , you can find all details here : https://stripe.com/docs/api#discounts
Hope that this will help you .
