Form validation is a basic requirement of any form. we should implement validation even if you use ajax or simple form. But if you are working with jquery ajax then you can use also server side validation using laravel and display error messages on front side.

You can simply use laravel 8 validation like required, email, same, unique, date, integer etc using jquery ajax post, get, put or delete request. we will use Validator make function for create validation and check using passes() function.

In this example i will show you how to use laravel default validation with jquery ajax. Here we also print laravel validation message when false. So if you want to ajax form validation in laravel app then you are right place.

Just follow bellow step to create ajax validation example:

Step 1: Add Route

In first step we will create new two routes for demo. so open your routes/web.php file and add following route.

routes/web.php

<?php

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;

use App\Http\Controllers\HomeController;

/*

|--------------------------------------------------------------------------

| Web Routes

|--------------------------------------------------------------------------

|

| Here is where you can register web routes for your application. These

| routes are loaded by the RouteServiceProvider within a group which

| contains the "web" middleware group. Now create something great!

|

*/

Route::get('my-form', [HomeController::class, 'myform']);

Route::post('my-form', [HomeController::class, 'myformPost'])->name('my.form');

Step 2: Create Controller

In this point, now we should create new controller as HomeController. So run bellow command and create new controller.

php artisan make:controller HomeController

After bellow command you will find new file in this path app/Http/Controllers/HomeController.php.

In this controller we will write three method for ajax view and post as listed bellow methods:

1)myform()

2)myformPost()

So, let's copy bellow code and put on HomeController.php file.

app/Http/Controllers/HomeController.php

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;

use Validator;

class HomeController extends Controller

{

/**

* Display a listing of the myform.

*

* @return \Illuminate\Http\Response

*/

public function myform()

{

return view('myform');

}

/**

* Display a listing of the myformPost.

*

* @return \Illuminate\Http\Response

*/

public function myformPost(Request $request)

{

$validator = Validator::make($request->all(), [

'first_name' => 'required',

'last_name' => 'required',

'email' => 'required|email',

'address' => 'required',

]);

if ($validator->passes()) {

return response()->json(['success'=>'Added new records.']);

}

return response()->json(['error'=>$validator->errors()->all()]);

}

}

Step 3: Create View File

In Last step, let's create myform.blade.php(resources/views/myform.blade.php) for layout and we will write design code and jquery ajax code,so put following code:

resources/views/myform.blade.php

</div>

<div class="form-group">

<button class="btn btn-success btn-submit">Submit</button>

</div>

</form>

</div>

<script type="text/javascript">

$(document).ready(function() {

$(".btn-submit").click(function(e){

e.preventDefault();

var _token = $("input[name='_token']").val();

var first_name = $("input[name='first_name']").val();

var last_name = $("input[name='last_name']").val();

var email = $("input[name='email']").val();

var address = $("textarea[name='address']").val();

$.ajax({

url: "{{ route('my.form') }}",

type:'POST',

data: {_token:_token, first_name:first_name, last_name:last_name, email:email, address:address},

success: function(data) {

if($.isEmptyObject(data.error)){

alert(data.success);

}else{

printErrorMsg(data.error);

}

}

});

});

function printErrorMsg (msg) {

$(".print-error-msg").find("ul").html('');

$(".print-error-msg").css('display','block');

$.each( msg, function( key, value ) {

$(".print-error-msg").find("ul").append('<li>'+value+'</li>');

});

}

});


</script>


</body>

</html>

php artisan serve

http://localhost:8000/my-form
