search with ajax laravel - ajax

Question

I need my project to have a search form, I tried with this code, but when I execute console it says:
POST http://localhost:8000/buscar 500 (Internal Server Error)
then here is my view
<div id="qnimate" class="off">
<div id="search" class="open">
<button data-widget="remove" id="removeClass" class="closeSearch" type="button">×</button>
<input type="text" placeholder="Buscar Noticias - Articulos - Reviews" id="buscar" onkeydown="keydownFunction()" onkeyup="keyupFunction()">
<button class="btn btn-lg btn-site" type="submit"><span class="glyphicon glyphicon-search"></span> Buscar</button>
<div id="resultadoBusqueda" class="col-md-12"></div>
</div>
</div>
here is my controller
public function buscar()
{
$keywords = Input::get('keywords');
$reviews = Reviews::where('estado','1')->take();
$buscarReviews = new \Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Collection();
foreach ($reviews as $review) {
if(Str::contains(Str::lover($review->nombre), Str::lover($keywords)))
$buscarReviews->add($review);
}
return view::make('busqueda')->with('buscarReviews', $buscarReviews);
}
here is the view which shows the information
#foreach($buscarReviews as $review)
<div id="reviews" class="col-md-12">
<div class="col-md-4">
<img src="Imagenes/{{$review->logo}}" width="50">
</div>
<div class="col-md-8">
<h2>{{$review->nombre}}</h2>
<div>{!! str_limit($review->descripcion, $limit = 150, $end = '...') !!}</div>
</div>
</div>
#endforeach
here is my js
var timer;
function keydownFunction(){
timer = setTimeout(function(){
var keywords = $('#buscar').val();
if(keywords.length > 0){
$.post('/buscar', {keywords: keywords}, function(markup){
$('#resultadoBusqueda').html(markup);
});
}
}, 500);
}
function keyupFunction(){
clearTimeout(timer);
}
I don't know what is the reason that it doesn't print the information required.

Answer 1

you are sending post request from ajax but in your controller you are trying to get that value using get, try this code
public function buscar(Request $request)
{
$keywords = $request->keywords;
$reviews = Reviews::where('estado','1')->take();
$buscarReviews = new \Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Collection();
foreach ($reviews as $review) {
if(Str::contains(Str::lover($review->nombre), Str::lover($keywords)))
$buscarReviews->add($review);
}
return view::make('busqueda')->with('buscarReviews', $buscarReviews);
}
also remember to change in route like this.
Route::post('buscar', 'yourController#buscar');
