You need to add the headers: Accept: application/json for Laravel to send back the JSON validation data.

Request class for API
Hi there I wanna use the request class for my API method but whenever a request is sent to my API method, it actually redirects with HTML, The question is I wanna get a response JSON from the validation class to validate my data, What should I do? thanks in advance
Level 5
i created extend for FormRequest
class ApiRequest extends FormRequest
{
protected function failedValidation(Validator $validator)
{
$error = (new ValidationException($validator))->errors();
throw new HttpResponseException(
response()->json(
[
'success' => false,
'error' => $error
], JsonResponse::HTTP_UNPROCESSABLE_ENTITY)
);
parent::failedValidation($validator);
}
}
and extended other Request files like
class OrderCreateRequest extends ApiRequest

@trin the namespace of the Validator parameter in the method is Illuminate\Validation\Validator, right?
Level 2
@trin I got it \Illuminate\Contracts\Validation\Validator
Level 5
yes
<?php
namespace App\Http\Requests;
use Illuminate\Http\JsonResponse;
use Illuminate\Validation\ValidationException;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Validation\Validator;
use Illuminate\Http\Exceptions\HttpResponseException;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Http\FormRequest;

@iamamirsalehi It’s not, though. It’s just a workaround for being sloppy when making requests.
If you want JSON back, you need to tell Laravel you want JSON by specifying the Accept like @andyabihaidar says.

controversial statement. what if i send Accept: image/png? )) in my case, i need not only json response, but with structure, like:
// good response
{
"success": true,
"data": ...
}
// bad response
{
"success": false,
"error": ...
}
and if i create backend api with laravel (no need web response), im not care about Accept, all responses are json.
as I understand, i have two ways to realize it
- extends
FormRequest, as i said - extends
Exceptions/Handle.phpto override render like (for example)
public function render($request, $exception)
{
if ($exception instanceof ModelNotFoundException) {
return response()->json([
'success' => false,
'error' => 'not found id in model',
'exception' => $exception
], Response::HTTP_NOT_FOUND);
}
return parent::render($request, $exception);
}
but as I understood, second way more globally and if i use some external module with web interface (telescope etc) it is bad idea.
if i wrong, tell me please best way to response all my requests with json on my structure. hmmm... I'll think about it
