As someone new to development, I have a little confusion with handling data from a multi-step form in an AJAX request on my controller. While I've been able to successfully collect all form inputs at once, I'm struggling to use the data from $request when it comes as an array from AJAX. Usually, I can do something like $request->input('name'), but in this case, I need to access values like
$request->input('firstGrant.issue_date')This is what I have tried:
submitCompany() {
axios.post('/onboarding', {
name: this.step1.name,
type: this.step1.type,
shares_amount: this.step2.shares_amount,
par_value: this.step2.par_value,
firstGrant: {
issue_date: this.step3.firstGrant.issue_date,
certificate: this.step3.firstGrant.certificate,
share_price: this.step3.firstGrant.share_price,
shares_amount: this.step3.firstGrant.shares_amount
}
})
.then(function (response) {
console.log(response);
alert('Information saved!');
})
.catch(function (error) {
console.log(error);
alert('Wrong!');
});
}
This is how I've implemented it in my Controller:
public function store(Request $request)
{
$userId = Auth::user()->id;
$issueDate = $request->input('firstGrant.issue_date'); //Is there a better way to do this?
$certificate = $request->input('firstGrant.certificate');//Is there a better way to do this?
$sharePrice = $request->input('firstGrant.share_price');//Is there a better way to do this?
$sharesAmount = $request->input('firstGrant.shares_amount');//Is there a better way to do this?
$equityGrant = EquityGrant::create([
'user_id' => $userId,
'share_id' => 91,
'vesting' => 0,
'status' => 'active',
'issue_date' => $issueDate,
'certificate' => $certificate,
'share_price' => $sharePrice,
'shares_amount' => $sharesAmount,
]); }
