Error Messages on Controller Store()

posted 9 years ago

This must documented somewhere, but I had no luck trying to locate. I am using the backend just as an API, and I have a store method, i'm running through a custom Request.

And I want to send back errors to the client when they use the API. I am not sure where the callback is for the $err messages.

I saw error handling in the Laracasts, but it's done through the views. How can I handle and do it through the JSON return, vs in the view with Blade.

Here is my code, for some reason, my code got flagged as spam. :/

class RegisterRequest extends Request {

/**
 * 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|min:3',
		'email' => 'required',
		'password' => 'required|min:6'
	];
}

}

You can pass back a json response with Response::json .

Assuming you are only replying in json with a model called Url.php

App\Http\Controllers\UrlController.php

public function store()
{
    $url = new Url;
    $url->url = Request::get('url');
    $url->description = Request::get('description');
    $url->user_id = Auth::user()->id;
 
    // normal validation and filtering 
 
    $url->save();
 
    return Response::json(array(
        'error' => false,
        'urls' => $urls->toArray()),
        200
    );
}
