how to do server side api validation in laravel 5.4

Question

How to send send error message in json format to postman in laravel 5.4

 //Controller
 public function store(Request $request)
 {
     $validator = Validator::make($request->all(),[
        'department_name'  => 'required',
     ]);
     if($validator->fails())
     {
        return $validator->errors()->all();
     }
     Department::create($request->all());

     return Response::json(['message' => 'Added','status' => 201],201);
}

Why don't you use response json like this : if ($validator->fails()) { return response()->json($validator->messages(), 200); } or a status other than 200 then in the client side test if status equal the new value then show errors ! — Maraboc

You can simply return the validation errors as json response like this :

if ($validator->fails()) { 
    return response()->json(['errors'=>$validator->errors()]); 
}
