Accept header not working

[feniljariwala82]

According to the documentation: show, I tried to add a header in Ajax request. The thing is I want a JSON response from the same controller which renders the index page. Here you can see the header code provided below.

After providing Accept header in the Ajax request. The controller is returning the default view. Can you please guide me on what I am doing wrong here?

Hey @feniljariwala82! 👋🏻

First of all, the correct type should be application/json.
Secondly, you must handle that yourself using Content Negotiation.

Route.get('posts', async ({ request, view }) => {
  const posts = [
    {
      title: 'Adonis 101',
    },
  ]

  switch (request.accepts(['html', 'json'])) {
    case 'html':
      return view.render('posts/index', { posts })
    case 'json':
      return posts
    default:
      return view.render('posts/index', { posts })
  }
})

I wrote backend code according to the documentation. I changed accept header, thank you. It's working.
