Accessing JSON array within Laravel Controller

I am currently a bit stuck with some data that my Vue component is sending to my Laravel Controller. The data is as follows:

array:2 [
  0 => {#1246
    +"id": 1
    +"name": "Developer"
  }
  1 => {#1249
    +"id": 2
    +"name": "Ops Matrix Admin"
  }
]

For example if I wanted to get the name or the id out of this as an object so that I can use it with eloquent. How would I go about doing this?

This is what my controller currently looks like.

  public function editUserPermissions(Request $request, $id) {
      foreach($request->all() as $key => $value) {
        $decode = json_decode($value);

        dd($decode);
    }
  }

When I do dd($request->all()); I get the following:

array:1 [
  "body" => "[{"id":1,"name":"Developer"},{"id":3,"name":"Ops Matrix User"}]"
]

public function editUserPermissions(Request $request, $id) {
      $bodys = $request->body;
      foreach($bodys as $key => $body) {
           //$key give current index of array 
           $body[$key]['id'] //this give id 
           $body[$key]['name'] //this give name 
      }
  }

You need to loop through the result. The result is an array.

A better way to get this would be with $request->getContent()

But using your code

public function editUserPermissions(Request $request, $id) {
      foreach($request->all() as $key => $value) {
        $decode = json_decode($value);

        foreach($decode as $decoded) {
            echo $decoded['id'];
        }
    }
  }
