从AngularJS到Laravel的Http Post

Question

I have been doing research and nothing I have found has made any sense to me. I am totally new to laravel and I am wanting to use it as a backend to my AngularJS. I have good experience with angular so here is my controller function making the http call:

var jsonData = {
  text: "test"
};
$http.post("http://127.0.0.1:8000/submit", {
  data: jsonData
}).then(function(response) {
  console.log("SUCCESS");
})

And then here is my route in file api.php:

Route::post('/submit', function(Request $request) {
  $data = $request->input('data');
  return $data;
});

So then I run php artisan serve and the console says Laravel development server started: <http://127.0.0.1:8000>. I try to reach the server via angular and nothing happens. I was wondering if someone can help me figure out what I am doing wrong? How can I post my data from angular to laravel and then send it back to my angular?

Answer 1

So this came down to a few issues:

1) Chrome does not like pages to be accessed via the file. It needs to run within a webserver. Luckily, Laravel works well with angularjs when the angularjs files are placed inside of the public/ folder.

2) Since the route was placed into api.php, the actual route to the file was api/submit.
