php - Passing status code from Laravel not received by Angular http -

i'm building front end angular app, , separate laravel 5.1 api. i'm testing registration validation posting duplicate e-mail addresses.

when throws error status code,

return new jsonresponse($errors, 422);

my angular $http method doesn't receive response @ all, , therefore success nor error methods called on angular response.

however, if remove status code 422 jsonresponse:

return new jsonresponse($errors); 

i can receive response angular.

i find odd because using status code 422 still returns response network tab, it's not received angular:

422 (unprocessable entity)

response: email : ["the email has been taken."]

i'd pass along status code laravel because want non 200 trigger angular $http .error response.

code snippets:

angular:

signup: function(params) {     return $http({         method: 'post',         url: url + ver + '/auth/register',         data: params,         cache: true     }); }  auth.signup(scope.user).success(function(res){      console.log(res); }).error(function(err) {     alertify.error('there error login credentials. please try again'); }); 

laravel:

public function postregister(request $request) {     $validator = $this->validator($request->all());      if ($validator->fails()) {         $this->throwvalidationexception(             $request, $validator         );     }  protected function buildfailedvalidationresponse(request $request, array $errors) {     if ($request->ajax() || $request->wantsjson()) {         return new jsonresponse($errors, 422);     }

edit: thinking may issue angular error not being triggered 422 code. this says add @ top did not fix issue

$http.defaults.headers.post["content-type"] = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"; 

the $http legacy promise methods success , error have been deprecated. use standard method instead. if $httpprovider.uselegacypromiseextensions set false these methods throw $http/legacy error.

https://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng/service/$http

try using then instead:

auth.signup(scope.user).then(function(res) {     console.log(res); }, function(err) {     alertify.error('there error login credentials. please try again'); });
