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:
|
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
|
{
"name":"Coding 4 Developers",
"email":"info@www.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:
|
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12
13
14
|
{
"status": 1,
"message": "You have been registered successfully.",
"errors": [],
"data": {
"name": "Coding 4 Developers",
"email": "info@www.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:
|
1
|
$request->all()
|
Now if you wanted to send the request body with along with access token in JSON response in Laravel, You can do it like following example:
|
1
|
array_merge($request->all(), ['accessToken' => $accessToken])
|
So finally function to return the JSON response after registration of the user looks like:
|
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12
13
14
15

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;
}
