How to validate input data using ajax in laravel

testAjax function inside PostsController class:

public function testAjax(Request $request)
  {
    $name = $request->input('name');
    $validator = Validator::make($request->all(), ['name' => 'required']);

    if ($validator->fails()){
        $errors = $validator->errors();
        echo $errors;
    }
    else{
      echo "welcome ". $name;
    }

  }

inside web.php file:

Route::get('/home' , function(){
  return view('ajaxForm');
});

Route::post('/verifydata', 'PostsController@testAjax');

ajaxForm.blade.php:

<script src=""></script>

  <input type="hidden" id="token" value="">
  Name<input type="text" name="name" id="name">
  <input type="button" id="submit" class="btn btn-info" value="Submit" />
<script>
  $(document).ready(function(){
      $("#submit").click(function(){
        var name = $("#name").val();
        var token = $("#token").val();
        /**Ajax code**/
        $.ajax({
        type: "post",
        url:"",
        data:{name:name,  _token: token},
        success:function(data){
                //console.log(data);
                $('#success_message').fadeIn().html(data);
            }
          });
          /**Ajax code ends**/    
      });
  });
</script>

So when click on submit button by entering some data then the output message(echo “welcome “. $name;) is printing. But when I click on submit button with empty text box then it does not print the error message from the controller and it throws a 422 (Unprocessable Entity) error in console. Why my approach is wrong here and how can I print the error message then. Please help. Thank you in advance.
