I'm trying to validated email with lumen controller. If email is entered correctly, it should pop out "valid" but at the current state its always "invalid" even with correct emails entered.
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
class NewsletterController extends Controller
{
public function subscribe(Request $request)
{
$email = $request->query('email');
echo $email;
function valid_email($email) {
return !!filter_var($email, FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL);
}
if( valid_email($email) ) {
return response()->json(["valid"]);
} else {
return response()->json(["invalid"]);
}
}
}
AJAX Call via jQuery
function msg() {
var email = document.getElementById("email").value;
console.log(email);
var email2 = $('input[type=email]').val();
console.log(email2);
event.preventDefault();
$.get("newsletter/subscribe?email + $('input[type=email]').val()", function(data, status){
console.log("data: " + data + "
Status: " + status);
})
.done(function() {
//console.log( "done" );
alert("DONE");
})
.fail(function() {
console.log( "error" );
alert("Fail");
})
.always(function() {
//console.log( "finished" );
alert("hz");
});
};
Form
<form class="join-newsletter">
<input id="email" name="email" type="email" placeholder="Enter your email address" class="email-address">
<input onclick="msg()" type="submit" value="Subscribe" class="submit-email button">
</form>
Updated code: still showing data: invalid.
