Laravel 5: How to insert error custom messages array inside validate()

Question

I want to insert my validation custom messages inside the validate function as shown:

public function postLogin(Request $request)
    {
        $rulesemail=['required'=>'Este campo es requerido.'];
        $rulespassword=['min'=>'Debe teclear al menos :min caracteres','required'=>'Favor de teclear su contraseña'];
        $this->validate($request, [
            'email' => 'required|email|max:60', 'password' => 'required|min:6'],$rulespassword
        );

But i can't get it to work. Any ideas?

You can't with the default validate() from the ValidatesRequests trait.

However you can override the function in your base controller to change that:

public function validate(Request $request, array $rules, array $messages = array())
{
    $validator = $this->getValidationFactory()->make($request->all(), $rules, $messages);

    if ($validator->fails())
    {
        $this->throwValidationException($request, $validator);
    }
}

And then simply pass the custom messages as third parameter:

$rulesemail=['required'=>'Este campo es requerido.'];
$messages=['min'=>'Debe teclear al menos :min caracteres','required'=>'Favor de teclear su contraseña'];
$this->validate($request, [
    'email' => 'required|email|max:60',
    'password' => 'required|min:6'
], $messages);

Remember that you can also globally define validation messages in a language file. This file is usually located at resources/lang/xx/validation.php

Where exactly is ValidatesRequests?

lukasgeiter Over a year ago

Illuminate\Foundation\Validation\ValidatesRequests that's the trait where the validates() method comes from. It should be included with use in the default base controller App\Http\Controllers\Controller

The validate() method accepts 3 parameters:

Request $request, [$errors], [$messages]

Here's an example of how to customise the error message for a validation condition:

    $this->validate(
        $request,
        [
            'first_name'=> 'required',
            'last_name'=> 'required',
            'email' => 'email',
            'date_of_birth' => 'date_format:"Y-m-d"'
        ],
        [
            'date_format' => 'DOB'
        ]
    );

PHPStorm provides useful tooltip to instantly see the method options.
