    <div class="form-group">
        <label for="nombre">Name</label>
        <input type="text" name="name" id="name" class="form-control">
    </div>
    <div class="form-group">
        <label for="descripcion">Description</label>
        <textarea type="text" name="description" id="description" rows="5" class="form-control">
        </textarea>
    </div>

Add the jQuery and include the view that have the ajax script

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
@include('vendor.lrgt.ajax_script', ['form' => '#myform',
'request'=>'App/Http/Requests/TestRequest','on_start'=>true])

You need jQuery 1.11.2 or higher

Where #myform is the id of your form and request is the namespace of your Request. Onstart is just if you want that the validation work from the load of the page. Note: Put the namespace of the request separate with /
