To create AJAX requests in Laravel, you can follow these steps:
- Include the CSRF token in your main layout file. This is necessary for Laravel to validate the AJAX request. You can include it in the meta tag like this:
1
|
<meta name="csrf-token" content="{{ csrf_token() }}">
|
- Create a route that will handle the AJAX request in your routes/web.php file. For example, you can define a route like this:
1
|
Route::post('/ajax-request', 'AjaxController@handleAjaxRequest');
|
- Create a controller that will handle the AJAX request. You can create a new controller using the php artisan make:controller command. For example:
1
|
php artisan make:controller AjaxController
|
- In your newly created controller file, define a method that will handle the AJAX request. For example:
1
2
3
4
|
public function handleAjaxRequest(Request $request)
{
// Process the AJAX request here
}
|
- Create a JavaScript file where you will write your AJAX code. You can put this file in the public/js directory. Here's an example of an AJAX request using jQuery:
1

3
4
5
6

$.ajax({
url: '/ajax-request',
type: 'POST',
data: {
// Add any data you want to send along with the request
},
headers: {
'X-CSRF-TOKEN': $('meta[name="csrf-token"]').attr('content')
},
success: function(response) {
// Handle the response from the server
}
});
|
- Make sure to include the JavaScript file in your main layout file. You can include it like this:
1
|
<script src="{{ asset('js/ajax.js') }}"></script>
|
- Run your Laravel application and test the AJAX request to ensure that it is working properly.
