What url are you calling?
And do you have a catch all route in web.php?

API not working with Laravel 8
Good morning,
in my api routes I have this:
Route::post('/setClient', 'App\Http\Controllers\ClientController@setClient');
The method looks like this:
public function setClient (Request $request){
$request->validate([
'pushtoken' => 'required|string',
'allownotification' => 'required|boolean'
]);
$client = Clients::updateOrCreate(
['pushtoken' => $request->pushtoken],
['allownotification' => $request->allownotification]
);
return response()->json(null, 200);
}
But when I tried to make a post request with Postman I only see the home page in the response and in the database is nothing. When I change post to get in the route and open it in the browser I was instantly redirected to /.

This is my web.php
Route::get('/', function () {
return view('welcome');
});
Auth::routes([
'register' => false, // Registration Routes...
'reset' => false, // Password Reset Routes...
'verify' => false, // Email Verification Routes...
]);
Route::get('/home', [App\Http\Controllers\HomeController::class, 'index'])->name('home');
And I call this route:

Ok try checking if it is the validation. Comment out everything but the response
Level 2
It was the validation. I do this now:
public function setClient (Request $request){
/* $request->validate([
'pushtoken' => 'required|string',
'allownotification' => 'required|boolean'
]);
**/
$client = Clients::updateOrCreate(
['pushtoken' => $request->pushtoken],
['allownotification' => $request->allownotification]
);
return response()->json(null, 200);
}
But then I get this error:
Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\MassAssignmentException: Add [pushtoken] to fillable property to allow mass assignment on [App\Models\Clients]. in file /Users/maltekiefer/Entwicklung/uadblock/vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Database/Eloquent/Model.php on line 354
I send with Postman this in the body:
Level 29
In the Clients model class, please make sure the variable pushtoken is added into the $fillable array
Example
protected $fillable = ['pushtoken'];
Level 102
Good to hear. You might want to work on that validation untill it works as expected. And yes remember to allow mass assignment when using create or update :)
Please or to participate in this conversation.
