HOW TO RETURN JSON FROM LARAVEL FORM REQUEST VALIDATION ERRORS

php artisan make:request RequestUserRequest

<?php
namespace App\Http\Requests;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Http\FormRequest;
use Illuminate\Validation\Rule;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Validation\Validator;
use Illuminate\Http\Exceptions\HttpResponseException;
class RequestUserRequest extends FormRequest
{
/**
* Determine if the user is authorized to make this request.
*
* @return bool
*/
public function authorize()
{
return true;
}
public function rules() {
return [
'name'=>'required|min:4|max:100',
'email'=>'required|unique:users, email',
'password'=>'required|confirmed',
];
}
/**
* Get the error messages for the defined validation rules.*
* @return array
*/
protected function failedValidation(Validator $validator)
{
throw new HttpResponseException(response()->json([
'errors' => $validator->errors(),
'status' => true
], 422));
}
}

php artisan make:controller AuthController

in your AuthController:

<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use App\Http\Requests\RequestUserRequest;
// use Illuminate\Http\Request;
class AuthController extends Controller
{
//
public function register(RequestUserRequest $request)
{
//
$user=User::create([
'name'=>$request->name,
'email'=>$request->email,
'password'=>bcypt($request->password)
]);
return $user;
}}

Then you define your route in your api.php

Route::post('register' ,[AuthController::class , 'register']);
