Laravel Extended Validation custom message
The extend
method allows to pass the message as a third argument:
Validator::extend('my_custom_validation_rule', function ($attribute, $value, $parameters) { // ...}, 'my custom validation rule message');
By default you can only use dynamic variable, which is :attribute
. If you want to add more use Validator::replacer()
:
Validator::replacer('my_custom_validation_rule', function($message, $attribute, $rule, $parameters){ return str_replace(':foo', $parameters[0], $message);});
You can also define the message for your custom validation rule under validation translations file.
/resources/lang/en/validation.php
....'unique' => 'The :attribute has already been taken.','uploaded' => 'The :attribute failed to upload.','url' => 'The :attribute format is invalid.',//place your translation here'my_custom_validation_rule' => 'The :attribute value fails custom validation.'
This is basically the same way as @lukasgeiter answer, but in case you need to manage dynamic variable inside the extend function, you can use $validator->addReplacer
inside the extend directly.
Validator::extend('my_custom_validation_rule', function ($attribute, $value, $parameters, $validator) { // Test custom message $customMessage = request()->get('foo') ? "Foo doesn't exist" : "Foo exist"; // Replace dynamic variable :custom_message with $customMessage $validator->addReplacer('my_custom_validation_rule', function($message, $attribute, $rule, $parameters) use ($customMessage) { return \str_replace(':custom_message', $customMessage, $message); } ); // Test error message. (Make it always fail the validator) return false;}, 'My custom validation rule message. :custom_message');
