Laravel Pretty Validation Messages is a Laravel package providing a trait for FormRequests to use translation strings for validation messages.
You can install the package via composer:
composer require wessama/laravel-pretty-validation-messages
Or you can just add it to your composer.json
file:
{
"require": {
"wessama/laravel-pretty-validation-messages": "^1.0"
}
}
Otherwise, you can clone the repo and include the trait in your FormRequests manually.
After installation, use the HasPrettyValidationMessages
trait in your FormRequest classes:
// app/Http/Requests/YourFormRequest.php
use WessamA\LaravelPrettyValidationMessages\HasPrettyValidationMessages;
class YourFormRequest extends FormRequest
{
use HasPrettyValidationMessages;
// Your rules and other FormRequest logic here...
}
Set up your localization strings with keys that match the expected pattern.
The whole point is to not have to write message()
methods over and over again for every FormRequest
you have
in your project. Instead, you can plug this trait into any FormRequest
and have it automatically use the
translation strings you've already defined.
The trait will look for a translation string with the following pattern:
validation.{fqcn}.{field}.{rule}
Where {fqcn}
is the fully qualified class name of the FormRequest
, {field}
is the name of the FormRequest
being validated, and {rule}
is the name of the validation rule.
For instance, take the following FormRequest
:
class StoreUserDetailsRequest extends FormRequest
{
// ...
}
Your translation strings would look like this:
// /lang/en/validation.php
return [
\App\Http\Requests\Form\StoreUserDetails::class => [
'email' => [
'required' => 'Email address is required',
'email' => 'Email address looks weird, innit?',
// add more rules here...
],
'password' => [
'required' => 'Password is required',
// add more rules here...
],
],
];
You can run the tests with:
composer test
