ajax not responding to laravel route

I can make a post fine, but when i add ajax, it doesn't add to the database for posts. its not responding to it, and i don't know why. ultimately i just want to add a post without refresh.

no errors show on the console

i get this

XHR finished loading: POST "http://localhost:8000/createpost".

but once again it does not add to my database for posts.

i referenced this, but i still don't see any changes.

Any suggestions.

class PostController extends Controller
{


      public function getDashboard()
       {
           $posts = Post::orderBy('created_at', 'desc')->get();
           $cookie = cookie('saw-dashboard', true, 15);
           $users = User::all();
           $user = new User();
   //        return view('dashboard', array('user'=> Auth::user()), compact('users'))->withCookie($cookie);

           return view('dashboard',array('user'=> Auth::user(), 'posts' => $posts,  compact('users')))->withCookie($cookie);
       }

        // public function postCreatePost(Request $request)
        // {
        //  $this->validate($request,[

        //  if($request->user()->posts()->save($post)){

        //  }

      //     return response ()->json( $post );

        // }


  public function postCreatePost(Request $request) {
      $rules = array(
           'body' => 'required|max:1000'
      );

      $validator = Validator::make(Input::all(), $rules);

      if ($validator->fails()) {
         return Response::json (array(
                 'errors' => $validator->getMessageBag()->toArray ()
         ));
      } else {
         $post = new Post();
         $post->body = $request->body;
         $post->save();
         return response ()->json( $post );
      }
  }


}

And here is the route.

Route::post('/createpost',[

    'uses'=>'PostController@postCreatePost',
    'as' => 'createpost',
    'middleware' => 'auth'

]);
