Laravel 5 Send Password Reset Link using Ajax

I have this code:

jQuery.ajax({
    type:"POST",
    url:"/password/email/",
    data:{
        _token: jQuery("#forgotPasswordContainer input[name='_token']").val(),
        email: email
    },
    dataType:'json',
    beforeSend:function(){

    },
    success:function(data){

    },
    complete:function(){

    }
});

it seems that it is doing nothing.

When I checked firebug, i am getting an html page containing the html of /password/email page.

I am guessing I need to modify how sending password reset link works.

Can someone help me on this matter.

Your help will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Ok, I managed to solved this one by putting this on my PasswordController.php

public function getEmail(Request $request)
{
    $this->validate($request, ['email' => 'required|email']);

    $response = $this->passwords->sendResetLink($request->only('email'), function($m)
    {
        $m->subject($this->getEmailSubject());
    });

    switch ($response)
    {
        case PasswordBroker::RESET_LINK_SENT:
            return[
                'error'=>'false',
                'msg'=>'A password link has been sent to your email address'
            ];

        case PasswordBroker::INVALID_USER:
            return[
                'error'=>'true',
                'msg'=>"We can't find a user with that email address"
            ];
    }
}

I am not sure if this is efficient but this works for me. Hope this helps someone.

Thanks!

If you want to customized or changed the POST URL that you send via AJAX here is the complete answer:

ajax.js:

jQuery.ajax({
    type:"POST",
    url:"/user/password/reset",
    data:{
        _token: jQuery("#forgotPasswordContainer input[name='_token']").val(),
        email: email
    },
    dataType:'json',
    beforeSend:function(){

    },
    success:function(data){

    },
    complete:function(){

    }
});

routes.php:

Route::post('user/password/reset', [
      'uses'         => '[email protected]'
]);

App/Http/Controllers/Controller_name.php:

<?php
namespace AppHttpControllers;

use IlluminateHttpRequest;

use AppHttpRequests;

use IlluminateContractsAuthPasswordBroker;

class Controller_name extends Controller
{
    public function index(Request $request, PasswordBroker $passwords)
    {
        if( $request->ajax() )
        {
            $this->validate($request, ['email' => 'required|email']);

            $response = $passwords->sendResetLink($request->only('email'));

            switch ($response)
            {
                case PasswordBroker::RESET_LINK_SENT:
                   return[
                       'error'=>'false',
                       'msg'=>'A password link has been sent to your email address'
                   ];

                case PasswordBroker::INVALID_USER:
                   return[
                       'error'=>'true',
                       'msg'=>"We can't find a user with that email address"
                   ];
            }
        }
        return false;
    }
}
