Laravel 5: POST without CSRF checking

Tags:

laravel-5

It seems that Laravel 5 by default applies the CSRF filter to all non-get requests. This is OK for a form POST, but might be a problem to an API that POSTs DELETEs etc.

Simple Question:

How can I set a POST route with no CSRF protection?

You can exclude URIs from CSRF by simply adding them to the $except property of the VerifyCsrfToken middleware (app/Http/Middleware/VerifyCsrfToken.php):

<?php

namespace App\Http\Middleware;

use Illuminate\Foundation\Http\Middleware\VerifyCsrfToken as BaseVerifier;

class VerifyCsrfToken extends BaseVerifier
{
    /**
     * The URIs that should be excluded from CSRF verification.
     *
     * @var array
     */
    protected $except = [
        'api/*',
    ];
}
