The above command will create two files into your laravel 8 ajax form submit with validation application, which is located inside the following directories:
LaravelAjax/app/Models/Contact.php
LaraveljQuery/database/migrations/create_contacts_table.php
So, find create_contacts_table.php file inside LaravelAjax/database/migrations/ directory. Then open this file and add the following code into function up() on this file: public function up() { Schema::create('contacts', function (Blueprint $table) { $table->id(); $table->string('name'); $table->string('email'); $table->string('subject'); $table->text('description'); $table->timestamps(); }); }
Now, open again your terminal and type the following command on cmd to create tables into your selected database:
Step 4 – Create Routes
In step 4, open your web.php file, which is located inside routes directory.

These| routes are loaded by the RouteServiceProvider within a group which| contains the "web" middleware group. Now create something great!|*/Route::get('/', function () { return view('welcome');});Route::get('ajax-contact-form', [AjaxContactController::class, 'index']);Route::post('save', [AjaxContactController::class, 'store']);
Step 5 – Creating Controller
In step 5, create form controller by using the following command:
The above command will create AjaxContactController.php file, which is located inside LaraveljQuery/app/Http/Controllers/ directory.
So open AjaxContactController.php file and add the following code into it:<?phpnamespace App\Http\Controllers;use Illuminate\Http\Request;use Illuminate\Http\Response;use App\Models\Contact;class AjaxContactController extends Controller{ public function index() { return view('ajax-contact-form'); } public function store(Request $request) { $contact = new Contact; $contact->name = $request->name; $contact->email = $request->email; $contact->subject = $request->subject; $contact->description = $request->description; $contact->save(); return response()->json(['success' => true]); }}
Step 6 – Create Blade File For Contact Form
In step 6, create new blade view file that named ajax-contact-form.blade.php inside resources/views directory for ajax contact us form.
And the following jQuery ana ajax code will validate form data on client side or before submit to controller or database in laravel:<script>if ($("#ajax-contact-form").length > 0) {$("#ajax-contact-form").validate({ rules: { name: { required: true, maxlength: 50 }, email: { required: true, maxlength: 50, email: true, }, subject: { required: true, maxlength: 100 }, description: { required: true, maxlength: 300 }, }, messages: { name: { required: "Please enter name", maxlength: "Your name maxlength should be 50 characters long." }, email: { required: "Please enter valid email", email: "Please enter valid email", maxlength: "The email name should less than or equal to 50 characters", }, subject: { required: "Please enter subject", maxlength: "Your subject maxlength should be 100 characters long." }, description: { required: "Please enter description", maxlength: "Your description name maxlength should be 300 characters long." }, }, submitHandler: function(form) { $.ajaxSetup({ headers: { 'X-CSRF-TOKEN': $('meta[name="csrf-token"]').attr('content') } }); $('#submit').html('Please Wait...'); $("#submit"). attr("disabled", true); $.ajax({ url: "{{url('save')}}", type: "POST", data: $('#ajax-contact-form').serialize(), success: function( response ) { $('#submit').html('Submit'); $("#submit"). attr("disabled", false); alert('Ajax form has been submitted successfully'); document.getElementById("ajax-contact-form").reset(); } }); } })}</script>
Don’t worry i have already added the jQuery ajax code to validation form data on client side on blade views.
So, you can add the following php and html form code into ajax-contact-form.blade.php:<!DOCTYPE html><html><head> <title>Form Submit using Ajax jQuery in Laravel 8 with Validation</title> <meta name="csrf-token" content="{{ csrf_token() }}"> <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.5.2/css/bootstrap.min.css"> <script src="//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.2.1/jquery.min.js"></script> <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery-validate/1.19.0/jquery.validate.min.js"></script> <style> .error{ color: #FF0000; } </style></head><body><div class="container mt-4"> <div class="card"> <div class="card-header text-center font-weight-bold"> <h2>Laravel 8 Ajax Form Submit with Validation Example</h2> </div> <div class="card-body"> <form name="ajax-contact-form" id="ajax-contact-form" method="post" action="javascript:void(0)"> @csrf <div class="form-group"> <label for="exampleInputEmail1">Name</label> <input type="text" id="name" name="name" class="form-control"> </div> <div class="form-group"> <label for="exampleInputEmail1">Email</label> <input type="email" id="email" name="email" class="form-control"> </div> <div class="form-group"> <label for="exampleInputEmail1">Subject</label> <input type="text" id="subject" name="subject" class="form-control"> </div> <div class="form-group"> <label for="exampleInputEmail1">Description</label> <textarea name="description" id="description" class="form-control"></textarea> </div> <button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary" id="submit">Submit</button> </form> </div> </div></div><script>if ($("#ajax-contact-form").length > 0) {$("#ajax-contact-form").validate({ rules: { name: { required: true, maxlength: 50 }, email: { required: true, maxlength: 50, email: true, }, subject: { required: true, maxlength: 100 }, description: { required: true, maxlength: 300 }, }, messages: { name: { required: "Please enter name", maxlength: "Your name maxlength should be 50 characters long." }, email: { required: "Please enter valid email", email: "Please enter valid email", maxlength: "The email name should less than or equal to 50 characters", }, subject: { required: "Please enter subject", maxlength: "Your subject maxlength should be 100 characters long." }, description: { required: "Please enter description", maxlength: "Your description name maxlength should be 300 characters long." }, }, submitHandler: function(form) { $.ajaxSetup({ headers: { 'X-CSRF-TOKEN': $('meta[name="csrf-token"]').attr('content') } }); $('#submit').html('Please Wait...'); $("#submit"). attr("disabled", true); $.ajax({ url: "{{url('save')}}", type: "POST", data: $('#ajax-contact-form').serialize(), success: function( response ) { $('#submit').html('Submit'); $("#submit"). attr("disabled", false); alert('Ajax form has been submitted successfully'); document.getElementById("ajax-contact-form").reset(); } }); } })}</script></body></html>
