Laravel 5.8 Ajax Form Submit With Validation

In this tutorial you’ll learn to validate and submit form data without reloading or refreshing of page using ajax. In this tutorial I’ll show you step by step how to submit and validate form data without reloading or refreshing of page using ajax. Generally Form validation is performed at server side, but can be performed at both the server and client side. In this laravel form validation tutorial we will be learning about laravel server side validations. In this tutorial, I’ll show you how to define laravel validation rules, how to validate form input and to display validation errors using ajax. In Laravel, to submit form data using ajax we must have to incorporate csrf token with form data and set X-CSRF-TOKEN request header with ajax form submit request.

Before starting with example I assume that you already have fresh laravel 5.8 installation ready, if you have not installed it yet you can follow laravel 5 installation instruction here.

Create Model and Migration

Now, we have to define table schema for contact table. Open terminal and let’s run the following command to generate a Contact model along with a migration file to create contact table in our database.

Once this command is executed you will find a migration file created under “database/migrations”. Lets open migration file created and put following code in it –

Run Laravel Migration

Now, run following command to migrate database schema.

After, the migration executed successfully the contact table will be created in database.

Create Laravel Controller

In this controller, we have following methods –

index() :- To display form.

store() :- To validate and submit form data.

resources/views/ajaxFormSubmitWithValidation/contact_form.blade.php
