Is it possible to submit an array of objects?

I'm using Laravel 5.3, and I'm having trouble submitting arrays of objects to my controller. Is it possible? And if not, is there a workaround so that I can submit multiple objects at once?

Example request:

let req = {
    'data[]': [
        { id: 1, name: 'test1' },
        { id: 2, name: 'test2' }
    ]
};

Then, to test, I simply returned the contents of the request:

public function testArray(Request $request) {
    return response()->json($request->all());
}

And got this result:

data: [
    "[object Object]",
    "[object Object]"
]

In your js 

let req = [
    { id: 1, name: 'test1' },
    { id: 2, name: 'test2' }
];

var baseurl = window.location.protocol + "//" + window.location.host;
$.ajaxSetup({
    headers: {
        'X-CSRF-TOKEN': $('meta[name="csrf-token"]').attr('content')
    }
});
$.ajax({
    url: baseurl + "/test-data",
    type: 'post',
    data:{
        req:req
    },
    cache: false,
    success: function(response) {
        console.log(response);
    }
});

In controller:

public function testArray(Request $request) {
     $post = $request->all();

     return response()->json($post);
}

In route file: (web.php)

Here I used DemoController you can replace with your controller name

Route::post('/test-data', 'DemoController@testArray');

Result:

req: (2) […]
​​
0: Object { id: "1", name: "test1" }
​​
1: Object { id: "2", name: "test2" }
​​
length: 2

return is often having issues when displaying objects/arrays. Try simply:

dd($request->all())

instead of return, you'll be surprised :)

In your case, result is an array of objects, result[0] is the first object. To access the id for example, you would use result[0]['id']. You can use a for loop for example to see real data.

Also I think u can use json_encode.

Hope it helps!
