Sending Post Request with Laravel

The Laravel framework provides a convenient way of sending a post request using the POST method. This can be done with the POST method within the Request class. In order to use this method, first you have to create an instance of the Request class. You can do it by using the make() method and passing the route you want to send the request to.

$request = Request::make('/my-route', 'POST');

After creating the Request instance, you can add the data you want to send with the request. You can do this by using the with() method and passing the data as an array.

$data = [
    'name' => 'John Doe',
    'email' => '[email protected]'
];

$request = Request::make('/my-route', 'POST')->with($data);

Then you can send the request using the send() method, which returns an instance of the Response class.

$response = $request->send();

Finally, you can access the response data by using the getContent() method.

$response_data = $response->getContent();

This is a convenient way of sending a post request with the Laravel framework. You can also use other methods such as POST and PUT to send the request, but this method is the most convenient.
