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.
- Define custom messages in the Controller:
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',
]);
}
|
- Define custom messages in the Validation Request Class: First, create a new validation request using the following artisan command:
1
|
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.
