php - Laravel - How to return json error message on error? -

i added x-editable current laravel project. works have problem returning error message.

when controller able save request, 'success!' json message. that's fine. when have error, not 'error!' message. can see fire error message when $article->save() not successful.

what doing wrong?

controller:

$article->$input['name'] = $input['value'];  if( $article->save() ){     // works     return response()->json(array('status'=>'success', 'msg'=>'success!.'), 200); }   else{     // not work     return response()->json(array('status'=>'error', 'msg'=>'error!'), 500); } 

javascript in view:

$(".xeditable").editable({     success: function(response) {         console.log(response.msg);     },     error: function(response) {         // console says, response.msg undefinded         console.log(response.msg);     } }); 

kind regards.
