I need to add custom tag in response if the validation fails in FormRequest.
<?php
namespace App\Http\Requests;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Http\FormRequest;
class StoreMessage extends FormRequest
{
/**
* Determine if the user is authorized to make this request.
*
* @return bool
*/
public function authorize()
{
return true;
}
/**
* Get the validation rules that apply to the request.
*
* @return array
*/
public function rules()
{
return [
'name' => 'required|max:100',
'email' => 'required|email',
'message' => 'required|max:1000'
];
}
public function withValidator(\Illuminate\Validation\Validator $validator)
{
$validator->after(function ($validator) {
if($validator->fails()) {
$validator->errors()->add('status', 'error');
}
});
}
}
If my any of the validation fails only then I need to add status = error in json response else I need to add status = success.
Also my response status is nested under errors tag I need it to be at level 0.
{
"message": "The given data was invalid.",
"errors": {
"name": [
"The name may not be greater than 100 characters."
],
"status": [
"error"
]
}
}
Purpose of this is I am sending Ajax request to submit a form i need a flag to identify whether error occurred or not. Is there any better way to do this. Pardon me if I am asking silly question. I am newbie to laravel. Any help would be appreciated.
From the docs (search for "AJAX"):
When using the validate method during an AJAX request, Laravel will not generate a redirect response. Instead, Laravel generates a JSON response containing all of the validation errors. This JSON response will be sent with a 422 HTTP status code.
In your Javascript, you can catch this happening in a .fail() handler.
UPDATE Simple example, doesn't handle formatting multiple validation errors but gives you the idea:
$.ajax( ... )
.fail(function(xhr, status, error) {
if (error === 'Unprocessable Entity') {
// validation failure
var msg = '';
for (error in xhr.responseJSON) {
msg += xhr.responseJSON[error];
};
alert(msg);
}
});
