How to post the values into validation and return the response as json rather than return view in laravel blade

Question

I am trying to post the values into validation and return the response as json rather than return view as given in the documentation.

    $validator = Validator::make($request->all(), [
        'about' => 'min:1'
    ]);

    if ($validator->fails()) {
        return response()->json(['errors' => ?, 'status' => 400], 200);
    } 

The post is made by ajax so I need to receive the response in the ajax as well.

In order to prevent refresh of the page in the returning response, I have to give it a status code of 200 outside the array. But I couldn't figure out what to give the 'errors' part. What should I write in there?

Hii,

You can also tell Laravel you want a JSON response. Add this header to your request:

'Accept: application/json'

And Laravel will return a JSON response.

Hope it helps!!
