Can you clarify your question more? Do you want to return the newly created booking to the customer ?

Getting response from a POST request
Hi folks,
Let's say I use Vue and Axios to post data to a Laravel controller to, say, create a booking in a database. As part of the creation process, a booking reference is generated. I can return this reference as a signal to Vue that the POST request was successful. How can I grab this response to display the reference to the customer?
Level 4
Well, I don't need to return the whole booking, just the reference would be fine, so I could display a thank you message, here's your reference number etc.
Level 2
So you can return just the reference:
return response()->json(['reference' => $booking->reference]);
Level 4
Yes. Returning the reference isn't the problem. It's getting it into my Vue instance I don't know how to do, given that it's a response to a POST request and not the results of a GET.
Level 2
Do you mean that you don't know how to handle the response in your frontend ?
Level 4
Yes, I guess I am. How do I access the response with Vue and, say, assign it to a variable?
EDIT: I can just make the request equal a variable. I am an idiot.
