I do an ajax call but I keep getting this error:
419 (unknown status)
No idea what is causing this I saw on other posts it has to do something with csrf token but I have no form so I dont know how to fix this.
my call:
$('.company-selector li > a').click(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
var companyId = $(this).data("company-id");
$.ajax({
headers: {
'X-CSRF-TOKEN': $('meta[name="csrf-token"]').attr('content')
},
url: '/fetch-company/' + companyId,
dataType : 'json',
type: 'POST',
data: {},
contentType: false,
processData: false,
success:function(response) {
console.log(response);
}
});
});
My route:
Route::post('fetch-company/{companyId}', 'HomeController@fetchCompany');
My controller method
/**
* Fetches a company
*
* @param $companyId
*
* @return array
*/
public function fetchCompany($companyId)
{
$company = Company::where('id', $companyId)->first();
return response()->json($company);
}
The ultimate goal is to display something from the response in a html element.
A simple way to fixe a 419 unknown status on your console is to put this script inside in your FORM. {{ csrf_field() }}
Even though you have a csrf_token, if you are authenticate your controller actions using Laravel Policies you can have 419 response as well. In that case you should add necessary policy functions in your Policy class.
use this in your page
<meta name="csrf-token" content="{{ csrf_token() }}">
and in your ajax used it in data:
_token: '{!! csrf_token() !!}',
that is:
$.ajax({
url: '/fetch-company/' + companyId,
dataType : 'json',
type: 'POST',
data: {
_token: '{!! csrf_token() !!}',
},
contentType: false,
processData: false,
success:function(response) {
console.log(response);
}
});
Thanks.
in my case i forgot to add csrf_token input to the submitted form. so i did this HTML:
<form class="form-material" id="myform">
...
<input type="file" name="l_img" id="l_img">
<input type="hidden" id="_token" value="{{ csrf_token() }}">
..
</form>
JS:
//setting containers
var _token = $('input#_token').val();
var l_img = $('input#l_img').val();
var formData = new FormData();
formData.append("_token", _token);
formData.append("l_img", $('#l_img')[0].files[0]);
if(!l_img) {
//do error if no image uploaded
return false;
}
else
{
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "/my_url",
contentType: false,
processData: false,
dataType: "json",
data : formData,
beforeSend: function()
{
//do before send
},
success: function(data)
{
//do success
},
error: function(jqXhr, textStatus, errorThrown) //jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown
{
if( jqXhr.status === "422" ) {
//do error
} else {
//do error
}
}
});
}
return false; //not to post the form physically
This is similar to Kannan's answer. However, this fixes an issue where the token should not be sent to cross-domain sites. This will only set the header if it is a local request.
HTML:
<meta name="csrf-token" content="{{ csrf_token() }}">
JS:
$.ajaxSetup({
beforeSend: function(xhr, type) {
if (!type.crossDomain) {
xhr.setRequestHeader('X-CSRF-Token', $('meta[name="csrf-token"]').attr('content'));
}
},
});
2019 Laravel Update, Never thought i will post this but for those developers like me using the browser fetch api on Laravel 5.8 and above. You have to pass your token via the headers parameter.
var _token = "{{ csrf_token }}";
fetch("{{url('add/new/comment')}}", {
method: 'POST',
headers: {
'X-CSRF-TOKEN': _token,
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
},
body: JSON.stringify(name, email, message, article_id)
}).then(r => {
return r.json();
}).then(results => {}).catch(err => console.log(err));
Got this error even though I had already been sending csrf token. Turned out there was no more space left on server.
some refs =>
...
<head>
// CSRF for all ajax call
<meta name="csrf-token" content="{{ csrf_token() }}" />
</head>
...
...
<script>
// CSRF for all ajax call
$.ajaxSetup({ headers: { 'X-CSRF-TOKEN': jQuery('meta[name="csrf-token"]').attr('content') } });
</script>
...
You have to get the csrf token..
$.ajaxSetup({
headers: {
'X-CSRF-TOKEN': $('meta[name="csrf-token"]').attr('content')
}
});
After doing same issue is rise ,Just Add this meta tag< meta name="csrf-token" content="{{ csrf_token() }}" >
After this also the error arise ,you can check the Ajax error. Then Also check the Ajax error
$.ajax({
url: 'some_unknown_page.html',
success: function (response) {
$('#post').html(response.responseText);
},
error: function (jqXHR, exception) {
var msg = '';
if (jqXHR.status === 0) {
msg = 'Not connect.\n Verify Network.';
} else if (jqXHR.status == 404) {
msg = 'Requested page not found. [404]';
} else if (jqXHR.status == 500) {
msg = 'Internal Server Error [500].';
} else if (exception === 'parsererror') {
msg = 'Requested JSON parse failed.';
} else if (exception === 'timeout') {
msg = 'Time out error.';
} else if (exception === 'abort') {
msg = 'Ajax request aborted.';
} else {
msg = 'Uncaught Error.\n' + jqXHR.responseText;
}
$('#post').html(msg);
},
});
This error also happens if u forgot to include this, in your ajax submission request ( POST ), contentType: false, processData: false,
I had SESSION_SECURE_COOKIE set to true so my dev environment didn't work when logging in, so I added SESSION_SECURE_COOKIE=false
to my dev .env file and all works fine my mistake was changing the session.php file instead of adding the variable to the .env file.
It's possible your session domain does not match your app URL and/or the host being used to access the application.
1.) Check your .env file:
SESSION_DOMAIN=example.com
APP_URL=example.com
2.) Check config/session.php
Verify values to make sure they are correct.
This worked for me:
$.ajaxSetup({
headers: {
'X-CSRF-TOKEN': "{{ csrf_token() }}"
}
});
After this set regular AJAX call. Example:
$.ajax({
type:'POST',
url:'custom_url',
data:{name: "some name", password: "pass", email: "[email protected]"},
success:function(response){
// Log response
console.log(response);
}
});
Another way to resolve this is to use the _token field in ajax data and set the value of {{csrf_token()}} in blade. Here is a working code that I just tried at my end.
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: '/your_url',
data: { somefield: "Some field value", _token: '{{csrf_token()}}' },
success: function (data) {
console.log(data);
},
error: function (data, textStatus, errorThrown) {
console.log(data);
},
});
This works great for those cases you don't require a form.
use this in header:
<meta name="csrf-token" content="{{ csrf_token() }}">
and this in your JavaScript code:
$.ajaxSetup({
headers: {
'X-CSRF-TOKEN': '<?php echo csrf_token() ?>'
}
});
formData = new FormData();
formData.append('_token', "{{csrf_token()}}");
formData.append('file', blobInfo.blob(), blobInfo.filename());
xhr.send(formData);
If you already done the above suggestions and still having the issue.
Make sure that the env variable:
SESSION_SECURE_COOKIE
Is set to false if you don't have a SSL certificate, like on local.
If you are loading .js from a file you have to set a variable with the csrf_token in your "main" .blade.php file where you are importing the .js and use the variable in your ajax call.
index.blade.php
...
...
<script src="{{ asset('js/anotherfile.js') }}"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var token = '{{ csrf_token() }}';
</script>
anotherfile.js
$.ajax({
url: 'yourUrl',
type: 'POST',
data: {
'_token': token
},
dataType: "json",
beforeSend:function(){
//do stuff
},
success: function(data) {
//do stuff
},
error: function(data) {
//do stuff
},
complete: function(){
//do stuff
}
});
just serialize the form data and get your problem solved.
data: $('#form_id').serialize(),
