Framework: Empty CSRF-Token on Laravel 5.2

[Jasperrr91]

Both the csrf_token() and csrf_field() functions/helpers are returning an empty value on a fresh Laravel 5.2 installation.

Edit: thanks Dan! That did the job :)

Are you sure the route you're accessing uses StartSession middleware?

[danharper]

On a fresh install, make sure your route is within web middleware group

<?php

Route::get('foo', function () {
    return csrf_token(); // null
});

Route::group(['middleware' => 'web'], function () {
    Route::get('bar', function () {
        return csrf_token(); // works
    });
});

Otherwise the StartSession middleware isn't loaded and so no token exists on the session.

I am also faced same Issue? Above solutions are not worked.

Are you sure you're using Laravel 5.2 and your route is in the Web middleware group? csrf_token(); should work then. Make sure the following class are present in the middleware group in your Kernel:

protected $middlewareGroups = [
        'web' => [
            \App\Http\Middleware\EncryptCookies::class,
            \Illuminate\Cookie\Middleware\AddQueuedCookiesToResponse::class,
            \Illuminate\Session\Middleware\StartSession::class,
            \Illuminate\View\Middleware\ShareErrorsFromSession::class,
            \App\Http\Middleware\VerifyCsrfToken::class,
        ],
    ];

What happens when you try out Dan's test routes? Does /bar give you an empty page as well?

[irfanwv]

Only Blank screen, Nothing happend

Both get and post for that view should be under web middleware
