如何在laravel 5中提供自定义验证消息

Question

I'v been following on laravel 4.2 and to day tried laravel 5.

how can you add custom validation messages to rules in laravel 5.

Code Sample

namespace App\Http\Requests;

 
use App\Http\Requests\Request;
 

class MyRequest extends Request {


    /**

     * Determine if the user is authorized to make this request.

     *

     * @return bool

     */

    public function authorize()

    {

        return true;

    }

 

    /**

     * Get the validation rules that apply to the request.

     *

     * @return array

     */

    public function rules()

    {

        return [

            'email' => 'required|email',

            'password' => 'required|min:8'

        ];

    }

}
// in your controller action
public function postLogin(\App\Http\Requests\MyRequest $request)

{

    // code here will not fire

    // if the validation rules

    // in the request fail

}

?>

it's not clear as in 4.2

Answer 1

You can return them from the messages() method like you do with rules¨:

public function messages(){
    return [
        'required' => 'The :attribute field is required.'
    ];
}

Answer 2

As well as the messages() method you can also do this in the lang file ( resources/lang/[language]/validation.php ) if all you want to do is change, for example the message for a unique rule on an email field across the entire app you can do:

/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Custom Validation Language Lines
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| Here you may specify custom validation messages for attributes using the
| convention "attribute.rule" to name the lines. This makes it quick to
| specify a specific custom language line for a given attribute rule.
|
*/

'custom' => [
    'attribute-name' => [
        'rule-name' => 'custom-message',
    ],
    'email' => [
        'unique' => 'This email is already registered...etc',
    ]
],
