Laravel 9 auth using JSON data

Question

I'm new to Laravel and use Laravel 9 for my REST API. The client sends data in JSON format when I want to authenticate the application. But I cannot authenticate JSON format with my below code. Can anyone help me to find out the problem?

public function loginUser(Request $request)
{
    $validateUser = Validator::make($request->all(), [
        'email' => 'required|email',
        'password' => 'required'
    ]);

    if ($validateUser->fails()) {
        return response()->json([
            'status' => false,
            'message' => 'Validation errror',
            'errors' => $validateUser->errors()
        ], 401);
    }
}

Can you please check for the errors that what error you'll get in response. if you could paste the error that you get here that would very much will some how show us the point where this error occurs. Thank you. — Hadem

Note that your code needs some improvements.

Instead of doing manual validation, this way is better:

app/Exceptions/Handler.php

public function render($request, Throwable $e)
{
    if ($e instanceof \Illuminate\Validation\ValidationException) {
        return response()->json([
            'status' => false,
            'message' => 'Validation Error',
            'errors' => $e->errors()
        ], 422);
    }

    parent::render($request, $e);
}

Now, in your controller, just:

$validatedData = $request->validate([
            'email' => ['required', 'email'],
            'password' => ['required', (new \Illuminate\Validation\Rules\Password(8))]
]);

And, to solve the JSON Problem, create a new middleware with: php artisan make:middleware ForceXmlHttpRequest

app/Http/Middleware/ForceXmlHttpRequest
<?php

namespace App\Http\Middleware;

use Closure;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;

class ForceXmlHttpRequest
{
    public function handle(Request $request, Closure $next)
    {
        $request->headers->set('X-Requested-With', 'XMLHttpRequest');

        return $next($request);
     }
}

app/Http/Middleware/Kernel.php
protected $middlewareGroups = [
...
'api' => [
        'throttle:api',
        \Illuminate\Routing\Middleware\SubstituteBindings::class,
        \App\Http\Middleware\ForceXmlHttpRequest::class,
    ],
];
