My post method does not receive data in laravel

Question

I wanted your help, because I create some routes in the controller with laravel --resource and when I receive the data by $request and insert it into my database, I do not receive data. And I forgot to mention that it is an api in laravel.

Here is my route code

    Route::resource('blog', App\Http\Controllers\BlogController::class)->only(['index','store','update','show','destroy']);

Here is my controller API code

    public function store(Request $request)
    {

        $blog = Blog::create($request->post());
        return response()->json([
            'blog'=>$blog
        ]);
    }

here I attach the capture after putting print_r($request->all()); look what appears to me

Trace:

what happens is that when I send the data to my api and print it to see what I have sent; supposedly I have not sent anything — Manuel Leigh, Apr 07 '22 at 04:48
Use the `request()->all()` global helper. Also, check the request object's class. Also, check on insomnia if the request body is sending parameters? — Sachin Bahukhandi, Apr 07 '22 at 05:37

You need to provide a little more information for SO members to help find the error and help with the solution.

I can point you to a few places in order to solve these issues

Does the request inputs match the fields in the databases?
Is there a validations rule that is not met and preventing the data from saving?
Use a try and catch block to check the output.
You can check the storage/log/laravel.log if there is an error that has been logged there.

friend what more information do you need I add it – Manuel Leigh Apr 07 '22 at 04:43
My error is that when I make a post request to my api in the store controller I only receive data and save it without any validation yet and when I do a console.log() of what I received it comes out empty – Manuel Leigh Apr 07 '22 at 04:45
Is the data saved in the database? – Bismark Asiedu Asante Apr 07 '22 at 05:01
no friend as error message tells me that it cannot save because the data is null – Manuel Leigh Apr 07 '22 at 05:06
I guess you should print_r($request->all()) in the store function to check the input maybe one of the inputs is not captured. – Bismark Asiedu Asante Apr 07 '22 at 05:10
I already added the result of what you told me to the question and I get an empty array, what can I do? – Manuel Leigh Apr 07 '22 at 05:23
The problem is the request is sent as json but not form data so the $request is not receiving please send the data through the API as a form data – Bismark Asiedu Asante Apr 07 '22 at 05:31

The error is from insomnia I guess.

We can check here using two approaches:

On Insomnia you are sending JSON in the wrong format:
```
{
 'key':'value'
}
```
Strings are not being used properly in JSON. Thus, you should send JSON this way.Check this out. Also, you can notice on your insomnia you are getting errors. Thus, because of invalid JSON it might not be sending the request body parameters.
```
{
 "key":"value"
}
```
Try sending the request body using form-data or x-www-form-urlencoded.
