I'm having issues posting with ajax, and I'm getting 419 Page expired errors.
At first glance, this is most likely because of a token mismatch. However, I've made sure I have
<meta name="csrf-token" content="{{ csrf_token() }}">
In my header.
And in my ajax post
var headers = {
'X-CSRF-TOKEN': $('meta[name="csrf-token"]').attr('content')
}
$.ajax({
type: 'post',
url: 'addtocart',
headers: headers,
......
When I log the token in the ajax, it matches what's in my header, so I'm not really sure what's going on. Any suggestions?
Have you tried adding it once using:
$.ajaxSetup({
headers: {
'X-CSRF-TOKEN': $('meta[name="csrf-token"]').attr('content')
}
});
and btw, the token mismatch can be because the session expired in case the user is sitting on the page for more than 30 minutes for example. So make sure in your ajax response you handle the 419 error.
@Nakov Even with the ajaxSetup I'm getting the 419. It's don't think it's because the session expires, since this happens everything, even on a newly refreshed session
@simonjolsen Try Something like this...
var _token = $("input[name='_token']").val();
$.ajax({
url: 'addtocart',
type:'POST',
data: {_token:_token},
success: function(data) {
//whatever you want
}
});
@folium Same issue when it's set up like this.
@simonjolsen if you are performing it in blade file , you can do something like this also..
$.ajax({
url: 'addtocart',
type:'POST',
data: {_token:"{{ csrf_token() }}"},
success: function(data) {
//whatever you want
}
});
@folium Still same issue.
@simonjolsen just try to make _token something like this in double quotes...
data: {
"_token": "{{ csrf_token() }}",
}
if not worked then I found this link to try hope it could help you.... https://www.tutsmake.com/laravel-csrf-token-mismatch-on-ajax-request/
@folium Still same issue.
Is there any config files that could have some wrong settings or? Seems like it doesn't matter how I try to post the token.
