Answer 1

Laravel(Lumen) cheats because html forms only support GET and POST, but it does understand a real PUT/PATCH request.

In Postman You should send POST and set _method to PUT (same as sending forms) to make your data and files visible

 _method = "PUT"

Or

If you don't have any file only have data then you can write you parameter in choose below option in Postman

 x-www-form-urlencode 

Or

You want use PUT method for send Data with form-Data option you should use stuff like this https://gist.github.com/devmycloud/df28012101fbc55d8de1737762b70348

Example

Headers: Content-Type application/x-www-form-urlencoded
