I suggest you use the built in error handling in laravel: https://laravel.com/docs/9.x/errors#main-content

Very simple API error response
I'm trying to create a basic API and I was wondering how to do a generic response inase of error, for example...
try {
User::create($request->validated());
} catch (Exception $e) {
$message = 'User not created.';
$code = 500;
}
return response([
'message' => $message ?? 'User successfully created.',
], $code ?? 201);
With the above I manually write a generic code and message in the catch block. My question is, should this be handled differently? Should I get the message and error code from the exception?
Level 4
@Sinnbeck sorry that does not answer the question.

public function userCreate(Request $request)
{
$data = $this->validate($request, [
//validation rule
]);
$user = User::create($data);
return response()->json(['data' => $user, 'message' => 'user created successfully', 'status_code' => 201]);
}

@anilkumarthakur60 this would still return a 201 even if user not created.

@panthro I don't think so ...
show me you code that you have created
Level 6
if you think the above code is also going to return 201 then you should learning https://laracasts.com/series/laravel-8-from-scratch
here is another code for you
$data = $this->validate($request, [
//validation rule
]);
try {
DB::beginTransaction();
$user = User::create($data);
DB::commit();
} catch (QueryException $exception) {
DB::rollBack();
throw new InvalidArgumentException($exception->getMessage());
}
return response()->json(['data' => $user, 'message' => 'user created successfully', 'status_code' => 201]);

@panthro what exception(s) are you anticipating from creating the User instance?
