Return ajax validation from request Laravel 5?

Question

JavaScript

Good afternoon! Weak with JS and not very strong with laravel (

At first I did such a "validation", but is it bad form?

$extention = $request->file('file')->getClientOriginalExtension();


        if( $extention == 'jpg' or $extention == 'jpeg' or $extention == 'png' or $extention == 'rar' )
        {
            $name = $request->file('file')->getClientOriginalName();
            $img = $name .".".$extention;
            if( $request->file('file')->move( base_path() . '/public/images/catalog/', $img ) )
            {
                $status = true;
            }
        }
        else{
            $status = false;
        }
        return response()->json([ "STATUS" => $status ]);

Using this approach, I receive a JSON response and display the desired message to the client. But I want to use the "correct" validation. that's why I wrote it like this - php artisan make: request RequestName and in general I wrote it there

public function rules()
    {
        return [
            //
            'file' => 'required|mimes:jpg,png,mp4,webm',
        ];
    }

And here it is not clear to me how to return the validation result in the form of JSON for its subsequent processing? Thank you!

Hey! Try this option :)

// Правила можешь вынести в функцию в модели
$rules = [
    'file' => 'required|mimes:jpg,png,mp4,webm',
];

$validation = Validator::make($request->all(), $rules);
if( $validation->fails() ) {
    $errors = $validation->messages()->toJson();
}

return response()->json([ "errors" => $errors ]);
