How do I get HTTP Request body content in Laravel | How to return JSON Request body in Response in Laravel | How to add new parameter in HTTP request body in Laravel

So many time we need to return in REST APIs the request body. For example if you send a POST request with some parameters and you wanted you API access token along with the request body parameters which you sent.

Like below example:

Here is the Request body:

{
	"name":"Coding 4 Developers",
	"email":"info@coding4developers.com",
	"password" : "654321123",
	"role" : 2,
	"deviceId" : "TestDeviceId",
	"deviceType" : 1
}

{

"name":"Coding 4 Developers",

"email":"info@coding4developers.com",

"password" : "654321123",

"role" : 2,

"deviceId" : "TestDeviceId",

"deviceType" : 1

}

And now you wanted to get register and access token in response along with above request body like below:

{
    "status": 1,
    "message": "You have been registered successfully.",
    "errors": [],
    "data": {
        "name": "Coding 4 Developers",
        "email": "info@coding4developers.com",
        "password": "654321123",
        "role": 2,
        "deviceId": "TestDeviceId",
        "deviceType": 1,
        "accessToken": "81962729efe37e293bda6571eb64bfa0"  // access token a new added key in request body
    }
}

{

"status": 1,

"message": "You have been registered successfully.",

"errors": [],

"data": {

"name": "Coding 4 Developers",

"email": "info@coding4developers.com",

"password": "654321123",

"role": 2,

"deviceId": "TestDeviceId",

"deviceType": 1,

"accessToken": "81962729efe37e293bda6571eb64bfa0" // access token a new added key in request body

}

How can we do this in Laravel????

Here is the answer of this question. You can get the HTTP request body in Laravel by following code:

$request->all()

1	$request->all()

Now if you wanted to send the request body with along with access token in JSON response in Laravel, You can do it like following example:

array_merge($request->all(), ['accessToken' => $accessToken])

1	array_merge($request->all(), ['accessToken' => $accessToken])

So finally function to return the JSON response after registration of the user looks like:

 public static function registerUser($request) {
        UserServiceProvider::$data['message'] = trans('messages.server_error');
        try {
                $userId = User::create($request);
                $accessToken = md5(uniqid(mt_rand(), true));
                $isAccessTokenCreated = AccessToken::create($request, $accessToken, $userId);
                if ($userId && $isAccessTokenCreated) {
                    UserServiceProvider::$data['status'] = 1;
                    UserServiceProvider::$data['data'] = array_merge($request->all(), ['accessToken' => $accessToken]); // here merging the access token in request body
                    UserServiceProvider::$data['message'] = trans('messages.user_registered');
                    }
        } catch (\Exception $e) {
            Log::error( __CLASS__ ."::" . __METHOD__ . "  " . $e->getMessage());
        }
        return UserServiceProvider::$data;
    }

public static function registerUser($request) {

UserServiceProvider::$data['message'] = trans('messages.server_error');

try {

$userId = User::create($request);

$accessToken = md5(uniqid(mt_rand(), true));

$isAccessTokenCreated = AccessToken::create($request, $accessToken, $userId);

if ($userId && $isAccessTokenCreated) {

UserServiceProvider::$data['status'] = 1;

UserServiceProvider::$data['data'] = array_merge($request->all(), ['accessToken' => $accessToken]); // here merging the access token in request body

UserServiceProvider::$data['message'] = trans('messages.user_registered');

}

} catch (\Exception $e) {

Log::error( __CLASS__ ."::" . __METHOD__ . " " . $e->getMessage());

}

return UserServiceProvider::$data;

}
