To use custom validation messages in Laravel, you can define your custom messages in the validation rule either in the Controller or in the validation request class.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 |
public function store(Request $request) { $request->validate([ 'email' => 'required|email', 'password' => 'required|min:6', ], [ 'email.required' => 'Please enter an email address', 'email.email' => 'Please enter a valid email address', 'password.required' => 'Please enter a password', 'password.min' => 'Password must be at least 6 characters', ]); } |

php artisan make:request StoreUserRequest |
Then, open the newly created StoreUserRequest
file and define custom messages in the messages()
method:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 |
public function messages() { return [ 'email.required' => 'Please enter an email address', 'email.email' => 'Please enter a valid email address', 'password.required' => 'Please enter a password', 'password.min' => 'Password must be at least 6 characters', ]; } |
Remember to import the newly created validation request class in your Controller and use it in the store method:
1 2 3 4 5 6 |
use AppHttpRequestsStoreUserRequest; public function store(StoreUserRequest $request) { // Validation passes if the input data is valid } |
By using custom validation messages, you can provide more user-friendly and informative error messages when validation fails in your Laravel application.
