Validation errors in AJAX mode

Question

Currently I use this to display validation errors via ajax:

            if (data.validation_failed == 1)
            {
                var arr = data.errors;

Laravel 5 returns validation error automatically

for that you just need to do following thing,

Controller:

public function methodName(Request $request)
{
    $this->validate($request,[
        'field-to-validate' => 'required'
    ]);

    // if it's correctly validated then do the stuff here

    return new JsonResponse(['data'=>$youCanPassAnything],200);
}

View:

         $.ajax({
            type: 'POST',
            url: 'url-to-call',
            data: {
                "_token": "{{ csrf_token() }}",
                "field": $('#field').cal()
            },
            success: function (data) {
                console.log(data);
            },
            error: function (reject) {
                if( reject.status === 422 ) {
                    var errors = $.parseJSON(reject.responseText);
                    $.each(errors, function (key, val) {
                        $("#" + key + "_error").text(val[0]);
                    });
                }
            }
        });

you can build for each validation field one tag with id as field name and suffix _error so it will show validation error with above logic like as follow,

Hope it helps :)
