Accessing JSON data in Laravel controller from axios POST

Question

I am performing the following POST request from my React component:

axios({
    method: 'post',
    url: '/build',
    data: JSON.stringify({
        title: stateCopy.title,
        description: stateCopy.value,
        hunter: stateCopy.selectedHunter.id,
        encryption: stateCopy.encryption
    })
})
.then(response => {
    console.log(response)
})
.catch(errors => {
    console.log("error: " + errors)
});

which posts to my Laravel controller where I would like to access title, description, hunter and encryption.

I tried a few options such as request('title'), request()->post() and $request->getContent() but was unable to access what I want. Could someone point me in the right direction?

You have to decode stringified object

$data = json_decode($request->getContent());

$title       = $data->title;
$description = $data->description;
$hunter      = $data->hunter;
$encryption  = $data->encryption;

Hope this helps.

Use Laravel request method "getContent" to get the data passed.

$content = json_decode($request->getContent());

If you like to send parsed JSON as object. Use,

data: JSON.parse(
    JSON.stringify({
        title: stateCopy.title,
        description: stateCopy.value,
        hunter: stateCopy.selectedHunter.id,
        encryption: stateCopy.encryption
    })
)
