validate and saving an array of objects laravel 6, vue, axios - php

Question

vue function:
sendData() {
this.isLoading = true;
const postData = {
data: this.items,
};
var self = this;
axios.post(this.postUrl, postData).then(function (response) {
console.log(response.data);
self.isLoading = false;
});
this.items = [];
},
Laravel controller:
public function store(request $request)
{
foreach ($request->data as $data) {
$serie = [];
$serie = ['imei' => $data['serie']];
$imei = new Imei([
'imei' => $data['serie'],
'status_id' => 1,
'sucursal_id' => $data['sucursal'],
'equipo_id' => $data['equipo']
]);
$validator = Validator::make($serie, [
'imei' => 'unique:imeis,imei|digits:15',
]);
if ($validator->fails()) {
// Here I need to build the response of every imei with its validation error
} else {
$imei->save();
}
}
return >Here I want to return the errors back to vue
}
my vue app sends to laravel trough axios an array of objects that looks like this [{imei:xxxx,sucursal_id...},{imei:xxxx,sucursal_id...}] I need to validate imei is unique and save it, and if error return errors in the same way [{imei:xxxx,errorMsg: 'already exist in DB'}]. but I can't find the proper way to do it.

Basically you want to customize your errorbag right ? try this one out. Add this inside your fail condition. Let me know if it works.
$err = [{imei:xxxx,errorMsg: 'already exist in DB'}];
foreach ($validator->errors()->toArray() as $error) {
foreach($error as $sub_error) {
array_push($err, $sub_error);
}
}
return ['errors'=>$err];
