Custom PUT route with FormRequest in Laravel - laravel

Question

I want to make a custom PUT route to manage AJAX request
Route::post('some/{id}/another/new', 'SomeController#store');
Route::put('some/{cid}/another/{id}/edit', 'SomeController#update');
and I want to use FormRequest as a request parameter
/**
* Store a newly created resource in storage.
*
* #param \Illuminate\Http\Request $request
* #return \Illuminate\Http\Response
*/
public function store(DirectionRequest $request)
{
$data = $request->validated();
$direction = Direction::create($data);
return response()->json($direction, 201);
}
/**
* Update the specified resource in storage.
*
* #param \Illuminate\Http\Request $request
* #param \App\Direction $direction
* #return \Illuminate\Http\Response
*/
public function update(DirectionRequest $request, $clientId, $directionId )
{
$data = $request->validated();
$direction = Direction::find($directionId);
$direction->update($data);
return response()->json($direction, 201);
}
DirectionRequest.php
<?php
namespace App\Http\Requests;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Validation\Validator;
use Illuminate\Http\Exceptions\HttpResponseException;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Http\FormRequest;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Auth;
class DirectionRequest extends FormRequest
{
/**
* Determine if the user is authorized to make this request.
*
* #return bool
*/
public function authorize()
{
return true;
}
/**
* Get the validation rules that apply to the request.
*
* #return array
*/
public function rules()
{
return [
'country' => 'required|string|max:255'
];
}
/**
*
* #return type
*/
public function all($keys = null) {
$data = parent::all();
$data['created_by'] = Auth::User()->id;
return $data;
}
/**
*
* #param Validator $validator
* #throws HttpResponseException
*/
protected function failedValidation(Validator $validator) {
throw new HttpResponseException(response()->json($validator->errors(), 422));
}
}
and AJAX call
const editData = new FormData();
editData.append("country", document.getElementById('country').value);
return fetch(`/some/` + sidId + `/another/` + id + `/edit`, {
method: "PUT",
body: editData,
headers: new Headers({
'X-CSRF-TOKEN': $('meta[name="csrf-token"]').attr('content')
})
})
.then(response => {
if (!response.ok) {
throw new Error(response.statusText)
}
return response.json()
})
.catch(error => {
console.log(error)
});
And I get 422 Unprocessible Entity error which return all my model fields with errrors, but they are filled and sended by the AJAX request.
How to use FormRequest in custom route to use validation rules from it? I dont want to copy code with rules because I use that FormRequest in another method (store) and there it works
Simple Request shows put data, but FormRequest doesn't

After follow #RossWilson link
laracast.com I've change my request type to POST and then I could validate inputs with FormRequest rules and other stuff from it
