解码laravel 4输入:: json（）

Question

I am having a hard time decoding json input in laravel .. am building a Restful API and when i send post data using RestClient and then die and dump in laravel i got

object(Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\ParameterBag)#205 (1) {
  ["parameters":protected]=>
  array(6) {
    ["firstName"]=>
    string(8) "John"
    ["lastName"]=>
    string(7) "Doe"
    ["bloodGroup"]=>
    string(2) "B+"
    ["phone"]=>
    string(8) "+9999999"
    ["address"]=>
    string(8) "Somecity"
    ["symptoms"]=>
    string(3) "Bla"
  }
}

Now i have tied to access the data using

$data = Input::json();
echo $data->firstName;

that does not work .. tried to convert it to array and then access like $data['firstName'] does not work .

array(1) {
  ["*parameters"] =>
  array(6) {
    ["firstName"]=>
    string(8) "John"
    ["lastName"]=>
    string(7) "Doe"
    ["bloodGroup"]=>
    string(2) "B+"
    ["phone"]=>
    string(8) "+9999999"
    ["address"]=>
    string(8) "Somecity"
    ["symptoms"]=>
    string(3) "Bla"
  }
}

i want to decode the data then save it to db, Here is a tutorial building similar App ..

I have tried the post_index() method explained here but no luck .

Answer 1

You can use ->get() to access properties from a Symfony\\Component\\HttpFoundation\\ParameterBag response.

$input = Input::json();
$input->get('firstName')

You can also get all inputs as an array and then type cast it to an object with (object) . Note that this will throw an error if your property doesn't exists, so if I where you, I would use the ->get() method mentioned above.

$input = (object)Input::all();
$input->firstName;

Answer 2

Based on my experiment

If you are sending an array of multiple objects like the following example from the Javascript using JSON

[{crop_id: 1, test_id: 6},{crop_id: 1, test_id: 7},{crop_id: 1, test_id: 8}]

You need to use Input::json()->all() function in PHP.

$arr = Input::json()->all();
$crop_id = $arr[0]['crop_id'];
$test_id = $arr[0]['test_id'];
