How to make Postman work with POST/PUT requests in Laravel...

Postman POST PUT Requests.txt

To make Postman work with POST/PUT requests...

https://laravel.com/docs/5.2/routing#csrf-x-csrf-token

In addition to checking for the CSRF token as a POST parameter, the Laravel VerifyCsrfToken middleware will also check for the X-CSRF-TOKEN request header.

1. Store the token in a "meta" tag at the top of your root view file (layouts/app.blade.php)...
    <meta name="csrf-token" content="{{ csrf_token() }}">
    ** If using jQuery, you can now instruct it to include the token in all request headers.
    $.ajaxSetup({
        headers: {
            'X-CSRF-TOKEN': $('meta[name="csrf-token"]').attr('content')
        }
    });

2. Make sure to download Postman Interceptor (to sync Postman with the browser?) and turn it "on" in both the browser and Postman.

3. Do something in your app in the browser, open up the console and search in the head for the value of the csrf_token...
    <meta name="csrf-token" content="cbpj1L7ym6fdPJhl5Fc0mH4MMU71gK1zatutgC3d">

4. Add a header within Postman...
    X-CSRF-TOKEN        cbpj1L7ym6fdPJhl5Fc0mH4MMU71gK1zatutgC3d

It should work now. OTHER POSSIBLE ERRORS...
   
    "Class whatever\whatever\whatever\Auth not found"
        
        -> Add a backslash to Auth to make it the root directory instead of relative
            $bookmark = new Bookmark;
            $bookmark->user_id = \Auth::user()->id;
            $bookmark->link = $request->link;
            $bookmark->save();
            return $bookmark;
   
    "Trying to get property of non-object"
       
        -> This means \Auth::user() is returning null
        -> It's not utilizing the 'auth' middleware in your routes.php.
        -> Make sure the associated routes are included in either the 'web' middleware or 'auth' middleware (or both)
       
        Route::group(['middleware' => 'web'], function () {
            Route::auth();
            Route::get('/home', 'HomeController@index');
            Route::resource('users', 'UsersController', ['except' => [
                'create', 'edit', 'store'
            ]]);
            Route::resource('bookmarks', 'BookmarksController', ['except' => [
                'create', 'edit'
            ]]);
            Route::resource('tags', 'TagsController', ['except' => [
                'create', 'edit'
            ]]);
            Route::group(['middleware' => 'auth'], function() {
                Route::resource('bookmarks', 'BookmarksController', ['only' => [
                    'store', 'create', 'destroy'
                ]]);
            });
        });

This didn't work for me until I went into the Interceptor debugger in Postman and selected "Capture cookies".

how do you naviage to the interceptor debug session ?

@jovialcore In the bottom bar of Postman (using the desktop app) you should see "Start Proxy". When you click that, you should be able to slick "Start" and then a new tab will open in Postman that has the options from my screen-shot.
