Laravel: sending JSONArray from ajax to Controller error: Undefined variable myData - json

Question

I am sending a JSONArray via Ajax to Controller. and it is returning
"500 Internal Server Error"
After checking response of URL in console I found that my Array is undefined:
message- Undefined variable: myData
exception- ErrorException
file- C:\xampp\htdocs\EDO_Roster\app\Http\Controllers\EventController.php
This is my Ajax Code:
var myJson = JSON.stringify(myData);
var button = document.getElementById("submit");
button.addEventListener("click", function(event){
$.ajax({
headers: {
'X-CSRF-TOKEN': $('meta[name="csrf-token"]').attr('content')
},
type: "POST",
url: "{{route('postEvent' , 'myJson')}}",
data: {myData: myJson},
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
dataType: "json",
}).done( function(data){
console.log('Ajax was Successful!');
console.log(data);
}).fail(function(){
console.log('Ajax Failed');
});
});
route of the function:
Route::post('randomPost', 'EventController#postEvent')->name('postEvent');
This is my Controller Code
public function postEvent(Request $request)
{
$events = DB::table('auto_events')
->insert(array(
'edo_id' => $myData->edo_id,
'strat' => $myData->start,
)
);
return response($events, 200);
}
I've tried several solutions provided at stack overflow like changing Ajax calls, checked my route several times.

Answer 1

You haven't defined the variable $myData inside your controller, that's why you got that error on your controller, you're supposed to get the input data from $request
just try as below
public function postEvent(Request $request)
{
$myData = $request->all();
$events = DB::table('auto_events')
->insert(array(
'edo_id' => $myData->edo_id,
'strat' => $myData->start,
)
);
return response($events, 200);
}
