Server Interactions and AJAX

1. Server Interactions and AJAX

Never disable authentication or authorization middleware to make an endpoint easier to test. The former page recommended an unsafe development shortcut and has been replaced.

1.1. Preferred approaches

  • Livewire for new reactive UI and server actions

  • Base MVC DataTables endpoints for existing index pages

  • Module API routes for reusable JSON endpoints

1.2. Requirements

  • Use named routes in the module’s route files

  • Keep authentication and ability middleware enabled

  • Validate all input server-side

  • Return a documented JSON response or API Resource

  • Add feature tests for authorized and unauthorized callers

1.3. Existing DataTables flow

BaseRoute::resource() registers a protected DataTables endpoint handled by BaseController::index_datatables_ajax. Reuse it for standard Base MVC listings rather than adding a parallel route.
