No body data found in Laravel 5.3 with PUT request

Question

Here is my route to update the contacts.

Route::put( 'contact-type/{id}', 'ContactTypeController@update' );

Here is the controller to test if the request was there with the PUT request.

public function update(Request $request, $id)
{
    return response()->json([ 'id' => $id, 'req' => $request->all() ]);
}

When i send a request using postman, the request is null!

Is the body payload is not allowed in laravel PUT requests? Or how we send additional data in a PUT request?

Answer 1

Just change from form-data to x-www-form-urlencoded:

Answer 2

If you had to use form-data (to upload images) as file input doesn't exists in x-www-form-urlencode

you can send a POST-Request and add a field with the name _method and the value PUT or PATCH to the request body.

Answer 3

You need to add the appropriate Content-Type header for your data.

Click x-www-form-control this should add the appropriate header.

Hope this helps!

Answer 4

you are passing form-data instead you need to check x-www-form-urlencoded in post-man.
