Get form errors using ajax laravel 5.2

Question

I am in a little bind, I am trying to validate my form from jquery and link the validation with laravel validator. I would like to know how to pull back a JSON response with the laravel errors in jquery or javascript.

Can someone point me in the right direction

Here is the code for my controller store method

 public function Postdata(PostRequest $request) {

           try {
        $input = $request->all();
        $task = Task::create($input);
        return Response::json([ 'response'=>'success', 'data'=>$task ]);
     } catch (Exception $e) {
        return Response::json([  'errors'=> [ ['message' => $e->getMessage()] ] ]);
         }

        }

and my jquery

` $("#from").submit(function(event) {

$.ajax({
  type: 'post',
  url: '/myproperties/save',
  data: { '_token': token, 'data': "good" },
  dataType: 'json',
  success: function(data){
  console.log(data);
  },
  error: function(data){
    var errors = data.responseJSON;
    console.log(errors);
    // Render the errors with js ...
  }
});
});

`

Thanks please help

You can try the Validation method from laravel

 public function Postdata(PostRequest $request) {

    try {
        $input = $request->all();
        $validator = \Validator::make($request->all(), [
                'title' => 'required|unique:posts|max:255',
                'body' => 'required',
            ]);

        if ($validator->fails()) {
            return Response::json([ 'response'=>'error', $validator->errors()->all()]);
        }    
        $task = Task::create($input);    
        return Response::json([ 'response'=>'success', 'data'=>$task ]);
    } catch (Exception $e) {
        return Response::json([  'errors'=> [ ['message' => $e->getMessage()] ] ]);
    }

}
