Ajax (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) is a set of web development techniques utilizing many web technologies used on the client-side to create asynchronous Web applications. Import jquery library in your view file to use ajax functions of jquery which will be used to send and receive data using ajax from the server. On the server side you can use the response() function to send response to client and to send response in JSON format you can chain the response function with json() function.
json(string|array $data = array(), int $status = 200, array $headers = array(), int $options)
Step 1 − Create a view file called resources/views/message.php and copy the following code in that file.
<html> <head> <title>Ajax Example</title> <script src = "https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.3/jquery.min.js"> </script> <script> function getMessage() { $.ajax({ type:'POST', url:'/getmsg', data:'_token = <?php echo csrf_token() ?>', success:function(data) { $("#msg").html(data.msg); } }); } </script> </head> <body> <div id = 'msg'>This message will be replaced using Ajax. Click the button to replace the message.</div> <?php echo Form::button('Replace Message',['onClick'=>'getMessage()']); ?> </body> </html>
Step 2 − Create a controller called Laravel - Ajax by executing the following command.
php artisan make:controller Laravel - Ajax --plain

Step 4 − Copy the following code in
app/Http/Controllers/Laravel - Ajax.php file.
app/Http/Controllers/Laravel - Ajax.php

Step 5 − Add the following lines in app/Http/routes.php.
app/Http/routes.php
Route::get('ajax',function() { return view('message'); }); Route::post('/getmsg','Laravel - Ajax@index');
