$request->ajax() replacement

JanStieler · June 27, 2019, 8:57pm

On Kirby 3.1.0 ist kirby()->request()->ajax() deprecated.
What is a good replacement to identify ajax requests on PHP?
And why is it a problem with the fetch API? If I understand it right it is more a reliable way to write AJAX requests in a promise style way instead of xhr.

There is no replacement, check out the issue report:

I also found this, it’s what Laravel is using instead, checking for the expected content header. You could create a similar custom method and make sure the correct header is sent with your request.

public function expectsJson()
{
    return ($this->ajax() && ! $this->pjax()) || $this->wantsJson();
}


/**
 * Determine if the current request is asking for JSON in return.
 *
 * @return bool
 */
public function wantsJson()
{
    $acceptable = $this->getAcceptableContentTypes();


    return isset($acceptable[0]) && Str::contains($acceptable[0], ['/json', '+json']);
}


/**
 * Determines whether the current requests accepts a given content type.
 *
 * @param  string|array  $contentTypes

There are probably other ways, I suggest you google around a bit.
