How to get common validation error message for array field

Question

I need to validate a request with image and tags. How to return a common validation error message for tags.

$this->validate($request, [
    'image' => 'required|image,
    'tags.*' => 'string'
]);

Currecnt message is.

{
    "image": [
        "The image field is required."
    ],
    "tags.0": [
        "The tags.0 must be a string."
    ],
    "tags.1": [
        "The tags.1 must be a string."
    ]
}

Expected message is.

{
    "image": [
        "The image field is required."
    ],
    "tags": [
        "The tags must be a string."
    ]
}

Have you tried this,

$this->validate($request, [
    'image' => 'required|image,
    'tags.*' => 'string'
],$messages = [
    'tags.*' => 'The tags must be a string.'
]);

I'm not quit sure but this might work for you.

The message changed. but it comes on multiple array index. "tags.0": [ "The tags must be a string." ], "tags.1": [ "The tags must be a string." ]

@noufalcep This is because you have multiple incorrect fields of array input field

Yes. I need a single error message for the multiple inputs.

@noufalcep you can do it in in view. just take single message from array of message but it's not a good way

I can't do it in view. I will find another solution.

I think you should try with similar below example:

public function messages()
        {
            $messages = [];
            foreach ($this->request->get('tags') as $key => $val) {
                $messages['tags.' . $key . '.string'] = 'The tags must be a string.'
            }
            return $messages;
        }

Hope this work for you !!!

You can add messages with a * to your translation file, as documented.

'custom' => [
    'tags.*' => [
        'string' => 'The tags must be a string.',
    ]
],
