Here’s an example, how you can send request data from axios to controller of laravel route.

Axios Call with Vue.js

axios.post('/payments', {
    params: {
        data_from: “test data from”,
        data_to: “test data to”
    }
})

Route:
Route::post(‘/payments’, ‘Api\PaymentController@apiPaymentByUserId’);

Controller:

Class PaymentController extends Controller  {
        public function apiPaymentByUserId(Request $request) { 
            dd($request->all());
        }
 }

We will get below output from dd($request->all());

Output:

array:1 [
  "params" => array:2 [
    "data_from" => "test data from"
    "data_to" => "test data to"
  ]
]

You also can access individual property of request using below code of Controller:

Class PaymentController extends Controller  {
        public function apiPaymentByUserId(Request $request) { 
            $data_from = $request->data_from;
    $data_to = $request->data_to;
        }
 }
