How to parse data on the backend - laravel

Question

I am using Angular2 for my frontend and laravel for my back end and I'm having trouble saving the data to the database
Each of the keys in the Order[] (ex prodName, prodDesc) are the same as the column names in the database so I was trying to loop the request and save the data but its not working
public function Order(Request $request) {
$input = $request->all();
$order = new Order;
foreach ($input as $key => $value) {
if (array_key_exists($key, $input) && !empty($value)) {
$order->$key = $value;
}
}
}
if($order->save()) {
return response()->json(['order' => $order], 201);
}
order.interface.ts
export interface Order {
prodName: string;
prodDesc: string;
}
Adding the item to the order
addToOrder.component.ts
orders = [] as Order[];
saveItem(): void {
this.orders.push({prodName: this.prodName, prodDesc: this.prodDesc});
this.dataService.save(this.orders).then(() => {
this.navCtrl.pop(Search);
});
}
How each item is stored in storage
order.storage.ts
save(data : Order[]): Promise<any> {
return this.getData().then((products: any[]) => {
if (products) {
products = products.concat(data);
return this.storage.set('products', products);
}
return this.storage.set('products', data);
});
}
How I retrieve the order from storage
order.component.ts
private order = [] as Order[];
constructor(public dataService: OrderStorage, public OrderService: OrderService) {
this.dataService.getData().then((products) => {
if (products) {
this.order = products;
}
});
}
onSubmit() {
this.OrderService.submit(this.order)
.subscribe();
}
Posting the data to the back end
order.service.ts
submit(order: Order[]): Observable<any> {
return this.http.post(localapi.app, order)
.map(
(response: Response) => {});
}
Structure of the order data being sent
Retrieving the data on the backend
public function Order(Request $request) {
$input = $request->all();
var_dump($input);
}
the var_dump output

It's actually foreach ($input as $key => $arr), then you can use your loop:
foreach ($input as $arr) {
foreach ($arr as $key => $value) {
if (array_key_exists($key, $arr) && !empty($value)) {
$order->$key = $value;
}
}
}
The first set of elements you will encounter in your loop are arrays, then you can loop the property off of your array.
