Unable to retrieve request body with POST method
Hello,
Just banging my head on something very simple. I'm doing POST request with application/json RAW body data in Postman. I'm unable to get this JSON body data in Laravel.
Using Laravel 5.8 I should be seeing data in $request->getContent(), but it's empty.
Disabled CSRF, disabled every Middleware without success.
Any ideas?
Thanks, Bastiaan

Thanks, but the string of getContent() is empty, and so is all().

How are you checking the request?
Level 1
api.php
Route::post('/', 'BaseController@apiRoot');
BaseController.php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
class BaseController extends Controller
{
public function apiRoot(Request $request)
{
var_dump($request->getContent());
exit;
}
}
As you can see I'm trying to get POST from api root directory. Just tested with an nested directory, and this does contain POST body. So the issue is only when trying to get body from root of /api/.
Because of migration from a non-laravel to Laravel app I need to have POST with body in API root.

Got it, using trailing slash I get no body, with no trailing slash it works.
Works:
POST https://url/api
No body:
POST https://url/api/
Is this as expected?

jQuery.ajax({ url: "{{ url("register") }}", type: "POST", dataType: "json", data:$('#registerForm').serializeArray(), success: function(data,textStatus, xhr){...}
