I have the following ajax code in my frontend.
var formData = $('#application-information-step-one').serialize();
var actionUrl = $('#application-information-step-one').attr('action');
$.ajax({
url: actionUrl,
type: 'POST',
data: formData,
success: function(data) {
var resp = JSON.stringify(data);
console.log(resp);
},
error: function(data) {
}And following code to return json response from my controller if the request is ajax:
if ($request->ajax()) {
return response()->json([
'message' => 'Information saved sucessfully !'
],200)->headers('Content-Type', 'application/json');
}
But with the above code setup. Laravel returns HTML code of same page from where the request was made.
HTML page is rendered in preview section of network tab .
Can anyone suggest what am I missing here ?
Return JSON response from controller
if ($request->ajax()) {
return response()->json([
'status' => 'success',
'data' =>[],
'message' => 'Information saved successfully!'
], 200);
}
In AJAX success function code:
success: function (data) {
console.log(data.message);
},
and add to AJAX request object next parameters too
dataType: 'json',
contentType: false,
processData: false
Check for Ajax request is incorrect, otherwise the controller wouldn't have outputted HTML.
You can try several things:
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Request; at the top of the filerequest->ajax() with Request::wantsJson()request()->ajax()Any of the above subject to your Laravel version.
