Hi

If you can show us the nested object it would help, just copy and paste using 3 tilde signs before and after the entry so that the it looks more readable. I will take what you had above and put it between tilde (the key next to number 1) so that you can see what it looks like:

{ "name": "test", "description": "test", "startdate": "2016-02-21T13:00:00.000Z", "enddate": "2016-02-23T13:00:00.000Z", "coach": 
{ "uuid": "76fdd664-d830-11e5-9d46-00ffc9587cbc" }, "category": 
{ "uuid": "771e6de4-d830-11e5-9d46-00ffc9587cbc" }, "useruuid": "76d65a2d-d830-11e5-9d46-00ffc9587cbc", "routines": 
["775b2726-d830-11e5-9d46-00ffc9587cbc"] }

on your controller

$request->json();

will get you the json request as an array

$request->json()->name

Hi @astroanu ... I know how to get the value from the parent object as you said.

$data = $request->json->all();

$name = $data->name; // this one is ok

$coach_uuid = $data->coach->uuid; // this nested one didn't work !!!

$category_uuid = $data->category->uuid; // this nested one didn't work !!!

If you look at the JSON above, the coach, the category and routines are nested object.

Well i displayed nested objects in a view like this and i think it should work for you:

$data->name
$data->coach->uuid
$data->coach->category->uuid

I found away to do this nested JSON object thingy but not elegant :)

$data = $request->json()->all();

// Log::debug($request);

// $phpArray = json_decode($data,true);

$name = $data['name'];

$coach_uuid = $data['coach']['uuid']; // works now !!!

$category_uuid = $data['category']['uuid']; // works now!!!

There gotta a better way to handle this

It doesn't work for me
