I know laravel provides customisable error messages for each validation rules but is there a way to change the message part of the json result? I can't seem to find anything on the docs.
{
"message": "The given data was invalid.",
"errors": {
"email": [
"The email has already been taken."
]
}
}
You can definitely create your own Exception class and instruct laravel to use it to reply the response.
Assuming your own custom Exception class is Illuminate\Http\Exceptions\HttpResponseException you only need to override failedValidation method in your form request class and have something like this.
use Illuminate\Http\Response;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Validation\Validator;
use Illuminate\Http\Exceptions\HttpResponseException;
...
/**
* @param Validator $validator
* @throws HttpResponseException
*/
protected function failedValidation(Validator $validator)
{
throw new HttpResponseException(
response()->json(
[
'message' => 'My message',
'errors' => $validator->errors()->get('*') //or ->all() instead of get()
],
Response::HTTP_UNPROCESSABLE_ENTITY
)
);
}
The above would ensure your custom error response format is used. You can also add it to a Trait and include it in all your request class or just create a base Request class that others should extend.
in your form request class in the answer. Thanks!Add custom message on your venue class as follow:
public static function messages($id = '') {
return [
'name.required' => 'You must enter your name',
'logo.required' => 'You must upload logo',
'key.rules' => 'your messages'
];
And on your controller add messages as third parameter.
$this->validate($request, Venue::rules(), Venue::messages());
The “The given data was invalid.” message is actually the exception class message, which isn’t easily configurable:
ValidationException? That way i can just copy the existing features and add in my own custom ones.
