Laravel 5.1 - Posting and Retrieving JSON

This is how you can use jQuery to POST data and retrieve it within the controllers. To Send Data: First off on the page where you are POSTing data from, you need to have a CSRF_TOKEN as a meta tag. <meta name="csrf_token" content="{{ csrf_token() }}" /> Then in the JavaScript, pull the token and send it along with the POST as headers. <script type="text/javascript"> var CSRF_TOKEN = $('meta[name="csrf_token"]').attr('content');    var jsonData = "{ 'data' : 'data' }";   $.ajax({     url: '/route/path',         type: 'POST',     data: jsonData,     headers: {      'X-CSRF-TOKEN': CSRF_TOKEN     },        dataType: 'JSON',     success: function (data) { } }); </script> To Retrieve Data: Setup a post route in /app/Http/routes.php Route::post('/route/path', 'ControllerName@controllerMethod' ); Then setup the controller

Then you'll need to grant this user access to the database you created GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON database_name.* TO 'username'@'localhost' ;  Configure Laravel Database Connection The DB configuration file is located at /config/database.php. You'll need to edit the following highlighted sections in this file with the values needed to connect to the database you've created from above. Configure Environment If you installed Laravel through Composer, in the root of the Laravel install there is a hidden .env file which is automatically renamed from .env.example .

Questions about Outages

Routine CMS maintentance windows are from 6pm - 7pm, every Monday and Wednesday. Generally, the system is still available during these times, but may be unavailable for a few minutes during that period. There are other times where maintenance must be performed outside these windows due to unforeseen circumstances. We aim to provide as much notice as possible for these events, typically via email and via an alert on the login page. The routine maintenance is also mentioned on the login page on the day of maintenance.
