What is AJAX ?

AJAX stands for Asynchronous JavaScript And XML. It is not a programming language. It is a technology for developing better, faster, and interactive Web Applications using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and XML.

How AJAX works ?

AJAX communicates with the server using the XMLHttpRequest object. The XMLHttpRequest object sends a request for updated page data to the web server, the server process the request, a response is created server-side and sent back to the browser, which then uses JavaScript to process the response and display it on the screen as updated content.

So let’s see an example How to Insert Data using Ajax in Laravel.

Generating Migration :

php artisan make:migration create_ajax_submit_table

Migration Structure :

<?php

use Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration;
use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;

class CreateAjaxSubmitTable extends Migration
{
    /**
     * Run the migrations.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function up()
    {
        Schema::create('ajax_submit', function (Blueprint $table) {
            $table->id();
            $table->string('name');
            $table->string('email');
            $table->string('phone');
            $table->longText('message');
            $table->timestamps();
        });
    }

    /**
     * Reverse the migrations.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function down()
    {
        Schema::dropIfExists('ajax_submit');
    }
}

Run Migration :

php artisan migrate

Make Model :

php artisan make:model AjaxSubmit
<?php

namespace App;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class AjaxSubmit extends Model
{
    protected $table = 'ajax_submit';
    protected $fillable = ['id','name','email','phone','addess'];
}

Create Blade File : resources/views/contactForm.blade.php

<!DOCTYPE html>
