php - Laravel 5 access to ajax Post Data -

i'm trying receive data form through ajax on laravel 5.

javascript code:

event.preventdefault();     // disable normal behaviour of element (form)  var formdata = {     form: $("#newcustomerform").serialize()     // transmit input data of form serialized }  console.log(formdata);      // log console input data  $.ajax({     type: 'post',           // post request     url: 'save',            // url of route (in case user/save not save)     data: formdata,         // serialized data     datatype: 'json',       // data type of transmit     beforesend: function (xhr) {         // function needed laravel because of csrf middleware         var token = $('meta[name="csrf_token"]').attr('content');          if (token) {             return xhr.setrequestheader('x-csrf-token', token);         }     },     success: function (data) {         // successfuly called controler          // check if logic successful or not         if (data.status == 'success') {             console.log('alles ok');         } else {             console.log(data.msg);         }     },     error: function (data) {         // error while calling controller (http response code different 200 ok         console.log('error:', data);     } }); 

route:

route::post ('user/save', 'customercontroller@createnewcustomer'); 

controller:

public function createnewcustomer (request $request) {     $inputarray = $request->all();      print_r ($inputarray['form']);      // set json response array (status = success | error)     $response = array ('status' => 'success',                        'msg' => 'setting created successfully',);     // return json response      return response ()->json ($response); } 

in network tab can see how parameters like:

radio-inline-left=on&firstname=sdsd&private_lastname=&private_title=&private_birthdate=&private_email=&business_email=&private_phone=&business_phone=&private_mobile=&business_mobile=&brand=&business_job_title=&business_address_street=sdsd&business_address_po_box=&business_address_addon_1=&business_address_addon_2=&private_zip=&private_location=&business_address_street=&business_address_po_box=&business_address_addon_1=&business_address_addon_2=&private_zip=&private_location=&source=social_media&source=&availability=on&additional-info={"status":"success","msg":"setting created successfully"} 

i tried access data $request->input('name of field') it's empty.

does have idea i'm doing wrong?

the problem calling $("#newcustomerform").serialize(), , method serializes form in url-encoded parameters , not json encoded body.

in question answer provided work.
