To make AJAX work in Laravel, you need to follow these steps:
- Include the jQuery library in your Laravel project by adding the following line in your layout file (usually in the head section):
1
|
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.6.0.min.js"></script>
|
- Create a route in your routes/web.php file to handle the AJAX request. For example:
1
|
Route::post('/ajaxRequest', 'AjaxController@ajaxRequest');
|
- Create a controller to handle the AJAX request. Run the following command to create a new controller:
1
|
php artisan make:controller AjaxController
|
Then, add the following code to your controller:
1

3
4
5

|
namespace AppHttpControllers;
use IlluminateHttpRequest;
class AjaxController extends Controller
{
public function ajaxRequest(Request $request)
{
// Your logic here
}
}
|
- Create a JavaScript file where you will send the AJAX request. For example, create a js/ajax.js file with the following code:
1
2
3
4
5

7
8

$(document).ready(function() {
$('#myForm').submit(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
var formData = $(this).serialize();
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: '/ajaxRequest',
data: formData,
success: function(data) {
console.log(data);
}
});
});
});
|
- Include the JavaScript file in your layout file:
1
|
<script src="{{ asset('js/ajax.js') }}"></script>
|
- Add the CSRF token to your AJAX request by including the following line in your HTML layout file:
1
|
<meta name="csrf-token" content="{{ csrf_token() }}">
|
- Finally, make sure to add the CSRF token to your AJAX request headers:
1

$(document).ready(function() {
$.ajaxSetup({
headers: {
'X-CSRF-TOKEN': $('meta[name="csrf-token"]').attr('content')
}
});
});
|
By following these steps, you can make AJAX work in your Laravel project.
