I'm creating an API in Laravel 9, and I'm getting this error when using my FormRequest.

Edit: I already tried with: php artisan route: clear and also php artisan route: cache

php artisan route:list

My Route

Route::post('/sections', [SectionController::class, 'store']);

My Controller

class SectionController extends Controller
{
    public function store(StoreSectionRequest $request)
    {
        return $request;
    }
}

My problem is that when I use StoreSectionRequest it throws me the error:

The POST method is not supported for this route. Supported methods: GET, HEAD.

But when I just use Request it works normally.

class SectionController extends Controller
{
    public function store(Request $request)
    {
        return $request;
    }
}

This is how it works correctly.

I don't understand what happens, because when creating my other routes I didn't have this problem.

class StoreSectionRequest extends FormRequest
{
    public function authorize()
    {
        return true;
    }

    public function rules()
    {
        return [
            'title' => 'required | string ',
            'description' => 'nullable | string',
            'survey_id' => 'required | exists:surveys,id'
        ];
    }
}

CodePudding user response：

Run php artisan route:list on console. You will get all routes of your appilcation. This is list of Route::post('/sections', [SectionController::class, 'store']); routes.By route list you will get idea of URI and Action

CodePudding user response：

When you include the StoreSectionRequest, you are also including validation.

A validation error is beng thrown, but you have probably not indicated to Laravel that you need a json response and not a redirection to GET at the same route.

Make sure your API request includes Accept: application/json in the headers so that Laravel knows its a json request
