Hi everyone, I'm dealing with this for a long and I really can't find a solution, I'm creating a RESTful API derived from an old project I have. So I have defined the rules of validation in several form requests, and I want to use the same form requests to validate inputs in my API. So for example
public function store(PatientRequest $request){
Patient::create($request->all());
return response()->json([
'message' => 'Saved successfully'
], );
}
The problem here is that I cannot trigger a json response in case the validation fails. Any thoughts?
If you are submittin the request outside a HTML Form than you have to set your HTTP request headers as follow:
Content-Type: application/json Accept: application/json
In this way, Laravel will give you back the validation errors in json format and HTTP status 422 (Unprocessable Entity)
