Submit form without CSRF token in Laravel

Good day, guys. In this post, we’ll look at how to solve the "Submit form without CSRF token in Laravel" programming puzzle.

You can submit form data without CSRF token in Laravel by disabling the CSRF token. You can disable CSRF token by passing the URL without domain or with domain (URL which you are using to store the form data) to protected $except in VerifyCsrfToken.php under app\Http\Middleware directory.
  • Disable CSRF token and submit form without CSRF token in Laravel 8

    //app\Http\Middleware\VerifyCsrfToken.php
    //Disable CSRF token by passing URL to protected $except in VerifyCsrfToken.php
    protected $except = [
        'post/store'
    ];
    
    //routes\web.php
    use App\Http\Controllers\PostController;
    
    Route::get('/post/create', [PostController::class, 'create'])->name('post.create');
    Route::post('/post/store', [PostController::class, 'store'])->name('post.store');
    
    //app\Models\Post.php
    namespace App\Models;
    
    use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\HasFactory;
    use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
    class Post extends Model
    {
        protected $table = "posts";
    
        protected $fillable = [
            'title', 'body'
        ];
    }
    
    //app\Http\Controllers\PostController.php
    //Create controller using php artisan make:controller PostController in command prompt.
    //Import session facade and post model in post controller after namespace before class definition in PostController.
    use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Session;
    use App\Models\Post;
    
    //Controller’s method
    public function create(){
        return view('post.create');
    }
    
    public function store(Request $request){
    
        $request->validate([
            'title' => 'required|unique:posts|max:200',
            'body' => 'required'
        ]);
        
        $post = Post::create([
            'title' => $request->title,
            'body' => $request->body
        ]);
    
        if(!$post){
            Session::flash('message', 'Error while creating post !');
            Session::flash('alert-class', 'alert-danger');
            return redirect()->back();
        }
        Session::flash('message', 'Post has been created successfully !');
        Session::flash('alert-class', 'alert-success');
        return redirect()->back();
    }

                                <input type="text" name="title" class="form-control" placeholder="Enter title" value="{{ old('title') }}">
                                @error('title')
                                    <div class="alert alert-danger mt-2 p-2">{{ $message }}</div>
                                @enderror
                            </div>
                        </div>
                        <div class="form-group row mb-4">
                            <label  class="col-sm-2 col-form-label">Body : </label>
                            <div class="col-md-8">
                                <textarea class="form-control" name="body"  rows="3" placeholder="Enter post body">{{ old('body') }}
    

    You have to create the posts table with title and body column and Post model in app\models directory. You can insert the form data to the posts table without using CSRF token in Laravel using these code snippets.
