Validation 378
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 formatErrors on your base request (App\Http\Requests\Request).
Don’t forget to import the Illuminate\Contracts\Validation\Validator class at the top of the
file:
.
1 /**
2 * {@inheritdoc}
3 */
4 protected function formatErrors(Validator $validator)
5 {
6 return $validator->errors()->all();
7 }
Working With Error Messages
After calling the errors method on a Validator instance, you will receive an Illuminate\Support\MessageBag
instance, which has a variety of convenient methods for working with error messages.
Retrieving The First Error Message For A Field
To retrieve the first error message for a given field, use the first method:
.
1 $messages = $validator->errors();
2
3 echo $messages->first('email');
Retrieving All Error Messages For A Field
If you wish to simply retrieve an array of all of the messages for a given field, use the get method:
.
1 foreach ($messages->get('email') as $message) {
2 //
3 }
