Submit checkbox values to Controller

Question

I am having the following form, which I would like to submit to my backend.

<form id="revisionFilter" action="{{ route('revision.filter') }}" method='POST'>
  <input class="form-check-input" type="checkbox" value="" id="checkbox1">
  <label class="form-check-label" for="checkbox1">
                                    1
                                </label>
  <input class="form-check-input" type="checkbox" value="" id="checkbox0">
  <label class="form-check-label" for="checkbox0">
                                    0
                                </label>
  <label class="form-check-label" for="checkboxNull">
                                <input class="form-check-input" type="checkbox" value="" id="defaultCheck1">
                                <label class="form-check-label" for="checkboxNull">
                                    Null
                                </label>
  <input type="hidden" name='_method' value='POST'>
  <input id="revisionFilterSubmit" type="submit" class='btn btn-danger btn-sm' value='Filter'>
</form>

My backend looks like the following:

routes:

Route::post('/revision/filter', 'RevisionController@filter')->name('revision.filter');

RevisionController:

public function filter(Request $request)
{
    Log::info("Request: ");
    Log::info($request);

    return redirect()->route('revision.rindex');
}

My problem is that when I press the button I am getting redirected to:

The page has expired due to inactivity. 

Please refresh and try again.

Instead I would like to see the request with the values of the checkboxes to implement the db saving functionality.

I appreciate your replies!

@Wreigh Thx for your answer! The request I get looks the following: array ( '_token' => '0l3rUUfpQGxnOX9Jpim9vEXQEkCFP7nqsQiSfhwh', '_method' => 'POST', ) Any suggestions how to get the checkbox values? — Carol.Kar

since I've already made a comment. I will put my answer in the answer box lol.

To answer you, you're not getting any checkbox value since you're checkboxes don't have any name attribute.

You need to put a name attribute to them. E.g.,

<input class="form-check-input" type="checkbox" value="" name="checkbox0" id="checkbox0">

From there, you should now be able to see the value of the checkbox via its name.

Just put same name to your checkbox.For example

 <input class="form-check-input" type="checkbox" value="" id="checkbox1" name="revisionFilter">
 <input class="form-check-input" type="checkbox" value="" id="checkbox2" name="revisionFilter">
