I use Laravel built-in validator and I want to get the first error message
if ($validator->fails()) {
$error = $validator->messages()->toJson();
.....
}
This is the result when I print error
{"name":["The name must be at least 5 characters."],"alamat":["The address must be at least 5 characters."]}
In the example above, I want to get the first error, which is "The name must be at least 5 characters.". How can I do that?
Try this:
if ($validator->fails()) {
$error = $validator->errors()->first();
}
As per 2019 Laravel 5.8 and above to get all the error messages from the validator is as easy as this:
// create the validator and make a validation here...
if ($validator->fails()) {
$fieldsWithErrorMessagesArray = $validator->messages()->get('*');
}
You will get the array of arrays of the fields' names and error messages. Something like this:
[
'price'=>
[
0 => 'Price must be integer',
1 => 'Price must be greater than 0'
]
'password' => [
[
0 => 'Password is required'
]
]
]
You can use other validation messages getters that Illuminate\Support\MessageBag class provides (it is actually the object type that $validator->messages() above returns).
Message Bag Error Messages Additional Helpers
Go to your_laravel_project_dir/vendor/illuminate/support/MessageBag.php and find some useful methods like keys, has, hasAny, first, all, isEmpty etc. that you may need while checking for particular validation errors and customizing HTTP response messages.
It is easy to understand what they do by the look at the source code. Here is the Laravel 6.x API reference though probably less useful than the source code.
If validation fails, the withErrors method can be used to flash the error messages to the session. This is an array and this method will automatically share $errors with all views after redirection.
return redirect('register')->withErrors($validator, 'login');
The MessageBag can be accessed using the instance from the $errors variable:
{{ $errors->login->first('email') }}
Form API docs
Hope this is helpful.
for getting all errors, try this:
if ($validator->fails()) {
$error = $validator->errors()->all();
}
In your ajax request, when you get the data, try data.name.
This will give you the error message for the name field.
$.ajax({
url: "/your-save-url",
type: "post",
data: serializedData,
success: function(data) { alert(data.name)}
});
$error = $validator->messages()->toJson(); This statement indicates you are using json response. Also, the json field contains the name attribute of the field in your form. In your case, the names are name and alamat.$error['name'] this will give the error for the name.If you are using toastr style error displaying, this will work:
@if(session()->get('errors'))
toastr.error("{{ session()->get('errors')->first() }}");
@endif
Try this
if ($validator->fails())
{
$error = $validator->messages()->get('name');
}
if you want to do it inside the controller you can:
Arr::first(Arr::flatten($validator->messages()->get('*')))
you will get the first text message
