Getting ajax posted data in laravel?

Question

JS:

$.ajax({
    url: '/update',
    data: ['a','b','c'], 
    type: 'POST'
})

Controller:

$input = Input::all();
var_dump($input);
die();

Output:

0: 1
1: 0

I'm trying to post an array from ajax and get it in Laravel, unfortunately it's not working. There are no problems with CSRF. Where am I going wrong?

Answer 1

your trying to send a js array so stringify it and send,

var data = {para : ['a','b','c'] };
$.ajax({
    url: '/update',
    data: JSON.stringify(data), 
    type: 'POST'
})

get the data in the controller,

$input = Input::json("para");
$firstElement = $input[0];     // prints a
$secondElement = $input[1];    // prints b
$thirdElement = $input[2];     // prints c
