You use validation,
$valid = $request->validate([
'name' => 'required',
'age' => 'required'
'gender' => 'required'
]);
Then you will only get the inputs you want.

Get request->all without query params
When I do this
$req = $request->all();
I just want to get the request body, but this is also adding any inline params I might add, for eg this ?q=1 is also in the request array that comes back.
Whats the proper way to do it, so it ignores query params ?
Level 75
You normally have query parameters when paginating, so they are carried forward. And I advise not using $request->all() rather request each one at a time, but just my opinion.
Usually $request->all() is used in a post request.

i think more info necessary as to show why I do request->all()
My request body is something like this
[
{
id: 1,
order: 1
},
{
id: 2,
order: 2
}
...
]
So based on some rules, I am validating the exact number of elements coming in the request, so that I don't do anything if its incorrect.
if (count($request->all()) !== $countRequired)
throw new Exception..
So, as you can see, if I add a query param, and that is added to the request, this validation will fail. I was hoping it would not be necessary to strip the param programmatically before doing the validation.

@makapaka Sounds like it could be easily solved by just putting the data in a key?
if (count($request->get('data')) !== $countRequired)
throw new Exception..

@Sinnbeck yes fair point - probably why I havent seen this issue before. Bummer because I didnt want to change the structure of the api at this point ...
Level 102
@makapaka Could you perhaps show how the data is sent in?
Another idea. Add the keys you dont want in here
if (count($request->except(['_token'])) !== $countRequired)

@Sinnbeck thanks, that idea might be the only way without keying the data, cheers

@makapaka if you end up using either solution, please mark it as best answer to set the thread as solved
