php - read JSON data sent using post in jquery with laravel framework -

i have codes,

var obj = '{"items":[{"code":"c101","description":"car"}]}'; $.post('get-items',obj,function(){  }); 

i used code,

file_get_contents('php://input') 

because cant post data sent. using above code, raw post data.

how can read data sent without using file_get_contents('php://input')? because can't use file_get_contents('php://input').

here laravel controller function,

public function getitems() {     $data = file_get_contents('php://input');     if(isset($data))     {     ...     } } 

laravel 5.3 expects input sent in array format https://laravel.com/docs/5.3/requests#retrieving-input

request sent through jquery

$.ajax({         url: 'http://weburl.com/api/user/create',         datatype: 'json',         type: 'post',         data: {'user': user},         success: function(data) {             this.setstate({data: data});         }.bind(this),         error: function(xhr, status, err) {             console.error(null, status, err.tostring());         }.bind(this)     }); 

laravel usercontroller::create

public function create(request $request) {      $user = new user();     $user->name = $request->input('user.name');     $user->email = $request->input('user.email');     $user->password = $request->input('user.password');      $user->save();      return response($user, 201); }
