Laravel custom form requests not validating

I'm have created a custom form request in my laravel 5.6 something like this:

<?php

namespace Noetic\Plugins\blog\Requests;

use Illuminate\Foundation\Http\FormRequest;

class StorePostRequest 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 [

        ];
    }
}

When I do not place anything in rules, I get the controllers working, and when I put any rule inside suppose I put

return [
    'title' =>  'required',
    'body'  =>  'required',
];

It works until it gets validated true, I mean if title and body is passed it gets validated, but when I don't send any data for title or body I'm not getting errors as response, I see the home page belonging to web middleware, I want to return the error data as response.

My controller is something like this:

public function store( StorePostRequest $request )
{
    if ($request->fails()) {
        return $this->errorResponse($request->errors()->all());
    }

    $data = $request->only('title', 'body');

    $post = Post::create($data);

    return response()->json(['post'=> $post ],200);
}

Help me out with these. Thanks

In your controller function you don't need to catch the validation just try with success path.

Handler will handle your validation

public function store( StorePostRequest $request )
{
    $data = $request->only('title', 'body');

    $post = Post::create($data);

    return response()->json(['post'=> $post ],200);
}

In your Handler

use Illuminate\Validation\ValidationException;

if ($exception instanceof ValidationException)
{
    return response($exception->errors())->header('Content-Type', 'application/json');
}

use Illuminate\Contracts\Validation\Validator;

use Illuminate\Http\Exceptions\HttpResponseException;

after that

protected function failedValidation(Validator $validator) {
    throw new HttpResponseException(response()->json($validator->errors(), 422));
}
