I have developed an API using Laravel which provides JSON data in the following format:
{
"data":{
"errors":{
"username":"The username you entered has already been taken.",
"email":"The email address provided is already in use."
}
},
"success":true,
"status":400
}
In this scenario, I am attempting to register a user with a username and email that are already registered. Here is the Angular $resource code segment from my controller used for this purpose:
var user = new User({
username: $scope.user.username,
email: $scope.user.email,
password: $scope.user.password
});
var response = user.$save(function(data) {
console.log(data);
}, function(data) {
if (data.status === 400) {
angular.forEach(data.data.data.errors, function(error) {
console.log(error);
});
}
});
Essentially, this code sends a POST request to /users on the API. If it receives a non-200 status code, it checks for a 400 error, indicating a validation issue, and outputs the error messages to the console. As expected, the error messages are displayed in the console.
My query pertains to whether there exists a more efficient method to access the error messages rather than utilizing data.data.data.errors. Due to the API encapsulating the response data within a data field and Angular returning the $resource of the request instead of the actual server response, navigating through multiple properties becomes cumbersome when retrieving error messages.
Is there a smoother way to achieve this task?
