I understand that you need a csrf_token() as posted in other questions/answers, but what if I was making calls from an external server that can't get the token?
First time building anything in Laravel. I am just building a simple ajax contact form to get familiarized with it.
Here's my JS (there will be some client side processing so I need individual values instead of just serializing it straight up)
$('#contact-form').on('submit', function(e){
e.preventDefault();
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: 'forms/contact.php',
dataType: "json",
data: {
name: encodeURIComponent($("#contact-name").val()),
email: encodeURIComponent($("#contact-email").val()),
phone: encodeURIComponent($("#contact-phone").val()),
subject: encodeURIComponent($("#contact-subject").val()),
message: encodeURIComponent($("#contact-message").val())
},
success: function(data) {
alert(data.message);
}
});
});
Here is my Route (which is in web.php)
Route::post('forms/contact.php', 'ContactController@send');
And here is my Contact Controller's main public function "send"
public function send(Request $request){
return response()->json([
'result' => true,
'message' => 'success'
]);
}
Main goal right now is to just get a successful message back to the form.
...and would anyone know how I would return validation back to the form using something like this?
$this->validate($request, [
'name' => 'required',
'email' => 'required|email',
'message' => 'required'
]);
I apologize, I picked up Laravel yesterday so I'm super noob
