In laravel 5, we can now use the Request classes for input validation like so : 

```
    public function store(StoreItemRequest $request)
    {
        $item = Item::create($request->all());
        return 'success';
    }

```

When the validation fails, I can get the errors thanks to the `response` function in the `Request` class :

```
    public function response(array $errors) {
       return response()->json(['errors' => $errors]);
    }

```

But what if the validation succeeds? Is there a function that would get automatically triggered like so : 

```
    public function ????(){
         if($request->ajax())
           return response()->json(['success' => true]);
    }

```

**Note: it is required** that the content of the function `store` does NOT get executed if the request is ajax (just as it would not get executed if the validation fails).
