Validation 372
Displaying The Validation Errors
So, what if the incoming request parameters do not pass the given validation rules? As mentioned
previously, Laravel will automatically redirect the user back to their previous location. In addition,
all of the validation errors will automatically be flashed to the session.
Again, notice that we did not have to explicitly bind the error messages to the view in our GET route.
This is because Laravel will always check for errors in the session data, and automatically bind them
to the view if they are available. So, it is important to note that an $errors variable will always
be available in all of your views on every request, allowing you to conveniently assume the
$errors variable is always defined and can be safely used. The $errors variable will be an instance
of Illuminate\Support\MessageBag. For more information on working with this object, check out
its documentation.
So, in our example, the user will be redirected to our controller’s create method when validation
fails, allowing us to display the error messages in the view:
.

3 Create Post
4
5 @if (count($errors) > 0)
6
7
8 @foreach ($errors->all() as $error)
9 {{ $error }}
10 @endforeach

13 @endif

Customizing The Flashed Error Format
If you wish to customize the format of the validation errors that are flashed to the session when
validation fails, override the formatValidationErrors on your base controller. Don’t forget to
import the Illuminate\Contracts\Validation\Validator class at the top of the file:
