Validation
Last updated 2 years ago.

My original questions was actually 2 questions, so here are the 2 answers:

To work with custom messages when using the new L5 FormRequest dependency method of doing validation you can include the following override in your SignUpRequest.php file.

	public function messages() {
		return [
			'required' => ucwords(':attribute') . ' is required.'
		];
	}

OR

You can edit the custom messages are of the lang/xx/validation.php file.

	/*
	|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
	| Custom Validation Language Lines
	|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
	|
	| Here you may specify custom validation messages for attributes using the
	| convention "attribute.rule" to name the lines. This makes it quick to
	| specify a specific custom language line for a given attribute rule.
	|
	*/

	'custom' => [
		'attribute-name' => [
			'rule-name' => 'custom-message',
		],
	],

The only issue, is that the neither of these custom message areas allowed me to wrap :attribute in ucwords() (which was my second question.). So, thanks to a tweet from Taylor, what I did was just use the custom attributes section of the /lang/xx/validation.php file.

	/*
	|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
	| Custom Validation Attributes
	|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
	|
	| The following language lines are used to swap attribute place-holders
	| with something more reader friendly such as E-Mail Address instead
	| of "email". This simply helps us make messages a little cleaner.
	|
	*/

	'attributes' => [
		'first_name' => 'First Name'
	],

Hi chrislentz,

Are you sure

	public function messages() {
		return [
			'required' => ucwords(':attribute') . ' is required.'
		];
	}

is working? I tried, there is not working. and I replace ucwords to strtoupper, it give me The :ATTRIBUTE field is required.

I am using Laravel 5.1 LTS.

Anyone know how to set ucwords for all the attribute, instead I need to set the attribute one by one.

I did some research on the framework, I notice that in in 5.2 https://github.com/laravel/framework/pull/11337/files

it has something to do with replace word.

Is it possible done in 5.1? any way to overwrite the function? \vendor\laravel\framework\src\Illuminate\Validation\Validator.php Line 1698

  protected function doReplacements($message, $attribute, $rule, $parameters)
    {
        $message = str_replace(':attribute', $this->getAttribute($attribute), $message);

        if (isset($this->replacers[Str::snake($rule)])) {
            $message = $this->callReplacer($message, $attribute, Str::snake($rule), $parameters);
        } elseif (method_exists($this, $replacer = "replace{$rule}")) {
            $message = $this->$replacer($message, $attribute, $rule, $parameters);
        }

        return $message;
    }

Thanks!
