To send JSON data via AJAX to a controller in Symfony, you can follow these steps:

  1. Create a JavaScript object or array containing the data you want to send as JSON.
  2. Convert the JavaScript object or array to JSON using the JSON.stringify() method.
  3. Use AJAX to send the JSON data to your Symfony controller.


Here's an example of how you can achieve this:


JavaScript code:

 1
 2
 3
 4
 5
 6
 7
 8
 9
10
11
12
13
14
15
16
var data = {
  key1: 'value1',
  key2: 'value2'
};

var jsonData = JSON.stringify(data);

$.ajax({
  type: 'POST',
  url: '/path_to_your_controller_action',
  contentType: 'application/json',
  data: jsonData,
  success: function(response) {
    // Handle the server response here
  }
});


Symfony controller code:

 1

 3
 4
 5

 7

namespace AppController;

use SymfonyBundleFrameworkBundleControllerAbstractController;
use SymfonyComponentHttpFoundationJsonResponse;
use SymfonyComponentHttpFoundationRequest;
use SymfonyComponentRoutingAnnotationRoute;

class YourController extends AbstractController
{
    /**
     * @Route("/path_to_your_controller_action", name="your_action_name", methods={"POST"})
     *
     * @param Request $request
     * @return JsonResponse
     */
    public function yourAction(Request $request): JsonResponse
    {
        $jsonData = json_decode($request->getContent(), true);

        // Access your JSON data
        $value1 = $jsonData['key1'];
        $value2 = $jsonData['key2'];

        // Process the data or perform any database operations

        // Return a response, if needed
        return new JsonResponse(['message' => 'Data received successfully']);
    }
}


Make sure to replace /path_to_your_controller_action with the actual route to your controller action. Also, adjust the structure of the JSON data and process it according to your specific requirements inside the yourAction method.
