skip to Main Content

I have the following ajax code in my frontend.

var formData = $('#application-information-step-one').serialize();
var actionUrl = $('#application-information-step-one').attr('action');
$.ajax({
      url: actionUrl,
      type: 'POST',
      data: formData,
      success: function(data) {
        var resp = JSON.stringify(data);
        console.log(resp);
      },
      error: function(data) {

      }

And following code to return json response from my controller if the request is ajax:

        if ($request->ajax()) {
            return response()->json([
                'message' => 'Information saved sucessfully !'
            ],200)->headers('Content-Type', 'application/json');
        }

But with the above code setup. Laravel returns HTML code of same page from where the request was made.

HTML page is rendered in preview section of network tab .

Can anyone suggest what am I missing here ?

  1. Return JSON response from controller

    if ($request->ajax()) {
        return response()->json([
            'status' => 'success', 
            'data' =>[], 
            'message' => 'Information saved successfully!'
        ], 200);
    }
    

    In AJAX success function code:

     success: function (data) {
         console.log(data.message);
     },
    

    and add to AJAX request object next parameters too

    dataType: 'json',
    contentType: false,
    processData: false

  2. Check for Ajax request is incorrect, otherwise the controller wouldn’t have outputted HTML.

    You can try several things:

    • use IlluminateSupportFacadesRequest; at the top of the file
    • replace request->ajax() with Request::wantsJson()
    • use request()->ajax()

    Any of the above subject to your Laravel version.
