Question

I making laravel API where i can store a new data where the value in body raw json. but when i try to send request using post, i got nothing but the status is 200 OK. when i chek my mysql there is no data inputed.
So, what should i do?
mysql data
Laravel Controller, and API,
// function in controller
use App\Models\ChartAge;
class ChartController extends Controller
{
public function saveChart(Request $request)
{
$data = $request->validate([
'entity' => 'required|string|max:10',
'code' => 'required|string|max:10',
'year' => 'required|int|max:10',
'under_age_15' => 'required|string|max:50',
'age_15_64' => 'required|string|max:50',
'age_65_over' => 'required|string|max:50',
]);
$values = ChartAge::create($request);
return response()->json(
[
'status' => true,
'message' => "the videos has been favorites",
'data' => $values,
],
201
);
}
}
//in api.php
Route::post("charts", [ChartController::class, 'saveChart']);
and here is when i tried to send request using postman.
because there is no error, i don't know what's wrong??

Answer 1

First double check your ChartAge model, does it have $fillable or not?
and Edit your code:
From
$values = ChartAge::create($request);
To:
$values = ChartAge::create($request->all());
Hope this will be useful.
With validation:
$data = \Validator::make($request->all(),[
'entity' => 'required|string|max:10',
'code' => 'required|string|max:10',
'year' => 'required|int|max:10',
'under_age_15' => 'required|string|max:50',
'age_15_64' => 'required|string|max:50',
'age_65_over' => 'required|string|max:50',
]);
if($data-> fails()){
return back()->withErrors($data)->withInput();
}
$values = ChartAge::create($request->all());

Answer 2

Do you set fillable fields in your 'ChartAge' model?
protected $fillable = ['entity','code','year'...];
Do you try to test code with disabling validation?
Please try to put dd($request) in the first row of the controller code.
Method create expects a plain PHP array, not a Request object.
