I relatively new to laravel and am trying to develop an API. So far I have successfully implemented some GET Routes, but I am struggeling with the POST Routes. The Problem is, when testing the POST Route with Postman, the Request is empty, eventhough I am sending JSON Data.

I don't think I have misconfigured anything in the Postman Request, but here is my configuration anyways:

Headers

Body

Settings

Response:

NULL
array(0) {
}
array(0) {
}

  • can you use dd(request()->all()); to see the results? Commented Jun 15, 2020 at 8:04
  • Are you sure that the data coming from file_get_contents("php://input") is json ? If so, why are you making it php array by json_decode rather than returning it as it is ? If you are sure that you are getting json from file_get_contents("php://input")), try return file_get_contents("php://input")); and check the result. Commented Jun 15, 2020 at 9:07
  • Update your question and put dd($request->json()->all()) output. Commented Jun 15, 2020 at 10:41

Why are you using json_decode on the $request object?

The object you receive is not just a raw response string, it's an object that has a number of methods that can be used to retrieve the data from the request.

In your case for example you can use $request->all() to get all values that have been received by the request. Keep in mind however that this will also return query parameters if there are any. So it is recommended to use $request->input('user_name') to retrieve each value separately.

Sorry, I have never used dependency Injection on a Request as I am relatively new to lavarel. But thanks for your advice. Btw. updated my post.

Update: I made another Laravel Project and tried it there. Initially it didn't work either, but then I switched back to the original project, played a little bit around with composer and somehow it suddenly worked. I don't know which exact command resolved this issue, but one thing I remember, is that I ran "composer i".
