form ajax return nothing - ajax

Question

I try to understand where I made a mistake in my code , it works when I submit without ajax
When I am submitting my form with some empty fields my controller should return me some errors but it is returning nothing
Here is my js
$.ajaxSetup({
headers: { 'X-CSRF-TOKEN': $('meta[name="csrf-token"]').attr('content') }
});
var form = $('#register-lobby');
form.submit(function(e){
console.log('click');
e.preventDefault();
$.ajax( {
type: "POST",
dataType: 'JSON',
url: form.attr('action'),
data: form.serialize(),
success: function( response ) {
console.log(response);
}
});
});
My controller
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use App\Game;
use App\Repository\LobbyRepository;
use Illuminate\Auth\AuthManager;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
class LobbyController extends Controller
{
//
private $r;
/**
* #var AuthManager
*/
private $auth;
public function __construct(LobbyRepository $r , AuthManager $auth)
{
$this->middleware('auth');
$this->r = $r;
$this->auth = $auth;
}
public function index()
{
$games = Game::orderBy('name', 'asc')->get();
return view('/lobby')->with('games', $games);
}
public function store(Request $request){
$input = $request->all();
$decription = $input['description'];
$nb_player = $input['nb-players'];
$link = $input['support-link'];
$game_id = $input['game-id'];
//return response()->json(['errors'=>'my errors']);
$this->r->createLobby($decription , $nb_player , $link , $game_id ,$this->auth->user()->id);
}
}
Which is weird is if I return an json response in my store method it works but if I do it in my Repository in createLobby I have no response and it should return a message
<?php
namespace App\Repository;
use App\Lobby;
use Carbon\Carbon;
use GuzzleHttp\Psr7\Request;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Validator;
class LobbyRepository {
private $lobby;
public function __construct(Lobby $lobby){
$this->lobby = $lobby;
}
private function validator(array $data){
$rules = [
'description' => 'required|max:50',
'link' => 'required|max:255',
];
$messages = [
'required' => 'Le champ :attribute est requis',
'description.max' => 'La description est limitée à 50 caractères',
'link.max' => 'Le lien est limité à 255 caractères',
];
$validator = Validator::make($data,$rules , $messages);
return $validator;
}
public function createLobby($description , $nb_player ,$link , $game_id , $user_id){
$validator = $this->validator(['description' => $description , 'link' => $link]);
if($validator->fails()){
return response()->json(['errors'=>'my errors']);
/*
dd($validator->errors());
return redirect()->back()->withErrors($validator);
*/
}
else{
return $this->lobby->newQuery()->create([
'description' => $description,
'support_link' => $link,
'nb_player' => $nb_player,
'game_id' => $game_id,
'created_at' => Carbon::now(),
'user_id' => $user_id
]);
}
}
}

Thanks to Kelvin I missed the the return in my controller
public function store(Request $request){
$input = $request->all();
$decription = $input['description'];
$nb_player = $input['nb-players'];
$link = $input['support-link'];
$game_id = $input['game-id'];
//return response()->json(['errors'=>'my errors']);
return $this->r->createLobby($decription , $nb_player , $link , $game_id ,$this->auth->user()->id);
}
