Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 500 (Internal Server Error)

I am trying to run an Ajax call using a basic user resource to store some input data. However, try as I might, I cannot seem to get beyond this 500 ISE. Here is the call (within a React.js function):

saveAndContinue: function(e) { e.preventDefault()

// Get values via this.refs

email = this.refs.email.getDOMNode().value
this.setState({email: email})
this.setState({submitted: !this.state.submitted});

request = $.ajax({ 
      url: "/user", 
      type: "post", success:function(data){
      }, 
      data: {'email': email} ,beforeSend: function(data){console.log(data);} 
});

}

My Controller (UserController.php):

use App\Http\Controllers\Controller; use Illuminate\Http\Request; use Illuminate\Routing\Controller;

class UserController extends Controller {

/**
 * Store user info.
 *
 * 
 * @return Response
 */
public function store() {

    $v = Fan::validate(Input::all());

    $email = Input::get('email');

    if ( $v->passes() ) {  

        $user = new User;
        $user->email = Input::get('email');
        $user->save();

    }

    return $email;

}

}

I am using the model that comes pre-baked with Laravel 5.

The route to set up the resource is:

Route::resource('user', 'UserController');

This is extraordinarily frustrating. What could I possibly be doing wrong? I suspect this is something to do with Laravel 5 syntax (in my controller or something else) that is causing this error. Thank you in advance for your help!

You gotta provide the CSRF token. The usual way when using AJAX is, create a meta tag in your template where you set the value to csrf_token(), then either pass it as another POST value ({_token: theCSRFToken}) or as a HTTP Header (I think it's X-CSRF-TOKEN).

If you a have more than 1 or 2 places where you need to this, I suggest doing this:

$.ajaxSetup({
   headers: {'X-CSRF-Token': $('meta[name=csrf_token]').attr('content')}
});

So I set this up like this:

<meta name="csrf-token" content="<?= csrf_token() ?>">

$.ajaxSetup({
    headers: {
        'X-CSRF-Token': $('meta[name="csrf-token"]').attr('content')
    }
});

request = $.ajax({ 
          url: "/user", 
          type: "post", success:function(data){
          }, 
          data: {'email': email} ,beforeSend: function(data){console.log(data);} 
    });

This is still not working. Same error.

I've done!!

Try to change your controller...

Mine is like this.

public function pricetableItemCreate(Request $request)
{
    
    $pricetableitem = new PriceTableItem();
    $input = $request->all();

    $pricetableitem->price_table_id = $input['price_table_id'];
    $pricetableitem->item_id = $input['item_id'];
    $pricetableitem->rate = $input['rate'];
    $pricetableitem->price = $input['price'];
    
    $pricetableitem->save();

    return response()->json($pricetableitem, 201);
}

I've used your ajax part.
