Patch and Put Request Does Not Working With Form-Data

Laravel PATCH Request doesn't read Axios form data

Sad but true, when requesting from the browser it happens that Laravel doesn't properly answer to PATCH or PUT requests.

A quick solution might be using a POST and adding _method: PATCH as post parameter.

Please try with this updated code

let data = new FormData();
data.append("_method", 'PATCH');
data.append("photo", this.state.photo);
// append another data ....

const headers = { 
  'Content-Type': 'multipart/form-data',
  'enctype' : 'multipart/form-data',
  'Authorization' : 'Bearer ' + token 
}

axios({
  method : "POST",
  baseURL: this.baseURL,
  url    : url,
  params : params,
  data   : data,
  headers: headers,
}).then(response => {
  return response
})

Another example of the same issue can be found in axios.patch / axios.put is not working in Vue and Laravel

Input data of a PATCH request with formData and Axios is unavailable on Laravel

It is a known bug on PHP, Symfony and Laravel as well, a workaround is to append _method param with PATCH or PUT value to your formdata and use axios.post instead:

formData.append('_method', 'PATCH');
Axios.post(
    'http://localhost:8000/api/organism/settings',
    formData,
    //{...

Sending multipart/form-data with PUT request doesn't work in Laravel

Laravel (HTML Forms) do not work great with Put requests so you'll need to spoof a POST request as if it was a PUT or PATCH request. On Axios you use the .post verb but within your form data you append

_method: "put"

Information from the official documentation:
https://laravel.com/docs/8.x/routing#form-method-spoofing

Excerpt from the documentation:

HTML forms do not support PUT, PATCH, or DELETE actions. So, when defining PUT, PATCH, or DELETE routes that are called from an HTML form, you will need to add a hidden _method field to the form. The value sent with the _method field will be used as the HTTP request method

Axios patch request not working with Laravel

1st. Your data is an instance of FormData but your header is application/x-www-form-urlencoded which is wrong, use multipart/form-data instead. However, it will be set automatically when you use instance of FormData as data.

2nd. Send request via axios.post and append _method: PATCH to your formData:

const url = route('industries::update', id)

/*
const headers = {
    'Content-Type': ' multipart/form-data' // <= instead of `application/x-www-form-urlencoded`
}
*/

return axios.post(url, data) // <= instead of `axios.patch` and omit unnecessary `headers`

And:

let formData = new FormData()
formData.append('_method', 'PATCH') // <= instead of `('method', '_PATCH')`
