Custom validation error messages

In case you wanetd to change the error message of a validation rule in Laravel you can make use of the following snippet.

//Validation

$messages = [

    'fullTextPDF.mimes' => 'only PDF files are allowed.',

];



$validator = Validator::make($request->all(), [

    'bill_id'       => 'required',

    'fullTextPDF'  => 'mimes:pdf',

], $messages);



$errors = $validator->errors();

Also if we need to add a custom error message to the validation message here is a sample code that might help:

  $validator = Validator::make(\Request::all(), [

        'description' => 'required',

        'priority'    => 'required',

        'status'      => 'required',

        'duedate'     => 'required',

      ]);

      $validator->getMessageBag()->add('email', 'Email not found');

      $validator->errors()->add('field', 'Something is wrong with this field!');

      $errors = $validator->errors();

      if ($validator->fails())

      {

          return redirect()->back()->withErrors( $errors );

      }
