Controller not getting inputs laravel - php

Question

Currently I am trying to pass a creation form to a controller. I have the route and the ajax call setup and talking to the route. My problem is that when I use the ajax call the inspect tool for headers is showing my form values correctly but when I go into the controller the request->input doesnt show any values for the form.
Here is my ajax call
$(document).on("click", ".form-submit-btn", function() {
// Get the form id.
var formID = $(this).closest("form").attr("id");
var serializedForm = $(this).closest("form").serialize();
var substringEnd = formID.indexOf("-form");
var route = formID.substr(0, substringEnd).replace("-", "_");
$.ajaxSetup({
headers: {
'X-CSRF-TOKEN': $('meta[name="csrf-token"]').attr('content')
}
});
// Submit the form.
$.ajax({
method: "POST",
url: "/" + route,
data: {
serializedForm
},
success: function(data) {
alert(data);
}
});
});
Here is my controller
// Create Role
public function create(Request $request)
{
// Get and validate request params
$role = $request->input('role_name');
$active = $request->input('role-active', false);
return $role;
}
And here is my route
Route::post('/create_role', 'RoleController#create');
Am I missing something that is preventing the ajax call from sending the values to the controller
Here is my form also if that helps.
<form id="create-role-form" class="form">
{{ csrf_field() }}
<button class="pull-right right-close-btn">X</button>
<h1>Add Role</h1>
<hr />
<div class="form-group">
<label>Role Name</label>
<input type="text" name="role_name" class="form-control" />
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<input type="checkbox" name="role_active" value="true" checked /> Active
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<button class="btn btn-primary form-control form-submit-btn">Create</button>
</div>

I think problem is this line
data: {serializedForm},
Just change it to
data: serializedForm,
and it should fix the problem.

I see two problems with your ajax request
Are you sure you're using ES-6 TransPiler because data:{serializedForm}, is ES-6 Syntax http://es6-features.org/#PropertyShorthand
If you're javascript is working fine. You should be able to get it like $request->get('serializedForm')['role_name'] with your existing code.
Hope it helps
