How to rewrite a method for using with AJAX? - php

Question

I have a trait which handle password restoring logic:
public function reset(Request $request)
{
$this->validate($request, $this->rules(), $this->validationErrorMessages());
$response = $this->broker()->reset(
$this->credentials($request), function ($user, $password) {
$this->resetPassword($user, $password);
}
);
return $response == Password::PASSWORD_RESET
? $this->sendResetResponse($response)
: $this->sendResetFailedResponse($request, $response);
}
protected function rules()
{
return [
'token' => 'required',
'email' => 'required|email',
'password' => 'required|confirmed|min:6',
];
}
protected function sendResetFailedResponse(Request $request, $response)
{
return redirect()->back()
->withInput($request->only('email'))
->withErrors(['email' => trans($response)]);
}
I want to use it with AJAX calls. How should I rewrite sendResetFailedResponse()?
When I use this logic without AJAX and if validation fails on rules() I simply get an error response with 422 status code. But if validation fails while on checking token validity (reset()) - there are no errors with status code in return.
My AJAX is like
axios.post('/password/reset', {
//data to send
})
.then((response) => {
...
})
.catch((error) => {
//I can catch errors which are returning from rules() fail
//I want to catch non-valid token error here too
});
I tried to override
protected function sendResetFailedResponse(Request $request, $response)
{
return response(['email' => trans($response)]);
}
but this code returns token error after AJAX .catch()

I just do this in the reset method and it works pretty good.
public function reset(Request $request)
{
$this->validate($request, $this->rules(), $this->validationErrorMessages());
// Here we will attempt to reset the user's password. If it is successful we
// will update the password on an actual user model and persist it to the
// database. Otherwise we will parse the error and return the response.
$response = $this->broker()->reset(
$this->credentials($request), function ($user, $password) {
$this->resetPassword($user, $password);
}
);
if ($request->ajax()){
if ($response == Password::PASSWORD_RESET) {
return response()->json(['message' => 'Success'],200);
} else {
return response()->json(['error' => 'Please try again'], 422);
}
}
// If the password was successfully reset, we will redirect the user back to
// the application's home authenticated view. If there is an error we can
// redirect them back to where they came from with their error message.
return $response == Password::PASSWORD_RESET
? $this->sendResetResponse($response)
: $this->sendResetFailedResponse($request, $response);
}
Hope this helps
