@samirapadidar I have surprise for you: json is a string!
for example
'{foo:"bar"}'
it's string, but contains correct json data which can be parsed and processed

How to convert array to json
I was trying to convert an array to json and this is my code
private function prepareLogData(Request $request)
{
return json_encode([
'ip' => $request->ip(),
'url' => $request->url(),
'agent' => $request->userAgent(),
'date' => Carbon::now()->toDateTimeString(),
'params' => $request->query(),
]);
}
But then when I tested the output of this code, I realized that it returns a string. this is my code
dd(is_string(json_encode([
'ip' => $request->ip(),
'url' => $request->url(),
'agent' => $request->userAgent(),
'date' => Carbon::now()->toDateTimeString(),
'params' => $request->query(),
])));
return the true output how can convert this array to json???

@samirapadidar show how you use prepareLogData function
Level 1
<?php
namespace App\Http\Middleware;
use Carbon\Carbon;
use Closure;
use Illuminate\Http\RedirectResponse;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Illuminate\Http\Response;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Log;
class SystemActivityLogger
{
/**
* Handle an incoming request.
*
* @param \Illuminate\Http\Request $request
* @param \Closure(\Illuminate\Http\Request): (\Illuminate\Http\Response|\Illuminate\Http\RedirectResponse) $next
* @return Response|RedirectResponse
*/
public function handle(Request $request, Closure $next)
{
Log::channel('rabbitmq_elk')->info($this->prepareLogData($request));
return $next($request);
}
/**
* Prepare log data and log it
* @param Request $request
* @return string
*/
private function prepareLogData(Request $request)
{
return json_encode([
'ip' => $request->ip(),
'url' => $request->url(),
'agent' => $request->userAgent(),
'date' => Carbon::now()->toDateTimeString(),
'params' => $request->query(),
]);
}
}
This is my all code

That's how JSON works, JSON is a string format.
To get it as an object in front-end you need to convert it back to an object using Javascript
JSON.parse(yourString) // Will return an object
If you're using fetch
fetch('url').then(res => res.json()).then(data => {
// "data" is an object.
})
And in your Laravel you don't have to use json_encode to return a JSON. You can use a better method under response.
return response()->json([
'ip' => $request->ip(),
'url' => $request->url(),
'agent' => $request->userAgent(),
'date' => Carbon::now()->toDateTimeString(),
'params' => $request->query(),
]);

@samirapadidar Oh sorry, I didn't know that you're using it for logger. I thought you're doing it for a response for front-end. Then yeah, use json_encode :)
return json_encode([
'ip' => $request->ip(),
'url' => $request->url(),
'agent' => $request->userAgent(),
'date' => Carbon::now()->toDateTimeString(),
'params' => $request->query(),
]);
