Laravel localstorage item fetch in Controller

Question

In Laravel,Is there any way to get localstorage items in controller.I want to return this items in view blade. My localstorage item looks like .

Answer 1

I will suggest you to get the value from the localStorage with javascript using localStorage.getItem('myItem') and then store it as a cookie using document.cookie = "name=value". You will now be able to access it from your laravel controller using $_COOKIE['cookieName'].

Example:

Javascript

//define a function to set cookies
function setCookie(name,value,days) {
   var expires = "";
   if (days) {
       var date = new Date();
       date.setTime(date.getTime() + (days*24*60*60*1000));
       expires = "; expires=" + date.toUTCString();
   }
   document.cookie = name + "=" + (value || "")  + expires + "; path=/";
}

//get your item from the localStorage
var myItem = localStorage.getItem('myItem');
setCookie('cookieName', myItem, 7);

PHP

$myItem = '';

if(isset($_COOKIE['cookieName'])) {
    $myItem = $_COOKIE['cookieName'];
}

Answer 2

You can pass them from javascript with some event. You cannot just retrieve them in controller, because its server side.

Answer 3

I will extend @kamgas answer

You could set it in a cookie instead of local storage, which will allow Laravel to read the cookie

To fetch the cookie with Laravel you should use:

Cookie::get('mycookie')

Since Laravel by default only allow Laravel to read Laravel encrypted cookies you will need to set an exception in the App\Http\Middleware\EncryptCookies middleware class

protected $except = [
    'mycookie',
];
