Call AJAX with Vue.js and Vue resource in Laravel - ajax

Question

I'm making AJAX request in Laravel with Vue.js and Vue resource.
I have view:
{{Form::open(['method' => 'post', 'class' => 'form-inline', 'id' => 'main-form'])}}
{{Form::text('param1', null, ['id' => 'param1', 'class' => 'form-control'])}}
{{Form::text('param2', null, ['id' => 'param2', 'class' => 'form-control'])}}
<input #click="sendIt($event)" type="submit" value="Check prices" class="btn btn-success btn-theme" />
{{Form::close()}}
I have js:
var Vue = require('vue');
var VueResource = require('vue-resource');
Vue.use(VueResource);
Vue.http.headers.common['X-CSRF-TOKEN'] = $('meta[name=_token]').attr('content');
const app = new Vue({
el: '#app',
methods: {
sendIt: function (e)
{
e.preventDefault();
var token = $('[name="_token"]').val();
this.$http.post('/data').then((response) => {
console.log(response);
}, (response) => {
console.log(response);
});
}
}
Route:
Route::post('/data', 'MainController#data');
And controller:
public function data()
{
$msg = $this->test(); //method that retrieves data from db
return response()->json(['msg'=> $msg], 200);
}
It gives me post 500 internal server error
In response I have this headers:
Cache-Control
Content-Type
Date
Phpdebugbar-Id
Server
Status
Transfer-Encoding
X-Powered-By
In network in my data site I have response headers without token, request headers with token and I have token in Request Payload.
If I change method to get I have same error but if I change method to get and if I remove from my controller part of code where I retrieve data from db and just pass string to json (example:
$msg = 'test';
return response()->json(['msg'=> $msg], 200);
I have success and I can output test on page.
So I'm not sure if it's some problem with token or something else.
I tried and this:
var token = $('[name="_token"]').val();
this.$http.post('/prices', {_token:token})
but nothing. Same error again.
If I add this:
http: {
headers: {
X-CSRF-TOKEN: document.querySelector('#token').getAttribute('content')
}
},
I have syntax error on page load.
If I change to this:
http: {
headers: {
Authorization: document.querySelector('#token').getAttribute('content')
}
}
I got internal server error again.
And this is my token in main view:
<meta name="csrf-token" id="token" content="{{ csrf_token() }}">
<script>
window.Laravel = <?php echo json_encode([
'csrfToken' => csrf_token(),
]); ?>
</script>
EDIT:
This part works if I add quotes around x-csrf-token but still I have token mismatch error.
http: {
headers: {
'X-CSRF-TOKEN': document.querySelector('#token').getAttribute('content')
}
},

I could be mistaken but in your example at the top you have:
Vue.http.headers.common['X-CSRF-TOKEN'] = $('meta[name=_token]').attr('content');
However, in your main view file you have:
<meta name="csrf-token" id="token" content="{{ csrf_token() }}">
You should be able to simply change $('meta[name=_token]') to $('meta[name=csrf-token]') (so they match).
Furthermore, the reason you had a syntax error with X-CSRF-TOKEN: ... is because you can't use hyphens in key names unless you wrap them in quotes i.e. 'X-CSRF-TOKEN': ....
Hope this helps!
