I need to send parameters as array of objects in POSTMAN.

"array": [
    {"field1": "html", "field2": "5"},
    {"field1": "css", "field2": "3"}
 ]

I know that array must send as array[] but how can I set one item of the array as an object?

I tried this

"array[]" : "{"field1": "html", "field2": "5"}"

But I'm getting a 500 response error.

    The requirement is to send the data as form-data and not with raw data. The reason behind this: To support existing code. If you know how I can send this data in form-data then please let me know. – Zubin Shah Dec 03 '19 at 05:04

If array of arrays works for you as well, you can send them like this:

Go to bulk edit

userdata:[{"name":"name1","email":"email1@gmail.com"},{"name":"name2","email":"email2@gmail.com"},{"name":"name3","email":"email3@gmail.com"}]

I found the solution adding raw data as JSON. from body > raw

[
  {
    "text": "Buy fish",
    "completed": true
  },
  {
    "text": "Go for walk check",
    "completed": false
  },
  {
    "text": "Pick baby from school",
    "completed": false
  }
]

I know this ia an old post but this might help someone out there.... it's what worked for me:

In your controller: (Laravel/PHP)

$validator = Validator::make($request->all(), [
'fields' => 'nullable|array|min:1',
'fields.key1.*' => 'integer',
'fields.key2.*' => 'integer'
]);

if ($validator->fails())
{
return ...
}

Then in Postman:

fields[0]['key1']
fields[0]['key2']

.... and you can repeat this as many times as you need to, just increment the index

fields[1]['key1']
fields[1]['key2']

If you dd(fields) in your controller, you'd get:

0 => [
      key1 => value1
      key2 => value2
]

1 => [
      key1 => value3
      key2 => value4
]

.....
