I have the following function below that is logging in fine and redirecting fine in both options however I am not getting any errors!! - How can I also override the error messages?

Blade:

   <div>

      {{ Form::label('username', 'Username') }}

      {{ Form::text('username', Input::old('username'), array('class' => 'form-control', 'required' => 'required')) }}



       <div class="invalid-feedback">{{ $errors->first('username') }}</div>

Function:

public function processLogin() {



    // Lets create some simple validation rules for login



    $rules = array(



        'username' => 'required',

        'password' => 'required',

    );



    // Lets check the guest filled in all the correct details :)



    $validator = Validator::make(Input::all(), $rules);



    // Lets redirect back to login page if they have not



    if ($validator->fails()) {

        return Redirect::to('/')

            ->withErrors($validator)

            ->withInput(Input::except('password')); //Sends back only room name

    } else {

        // We will create an array of login information :)



        $loginData = array(

            'username' => Input::get('username'),

            'password' => Input::get('password'),

        );



        // Lets Login



        if (Auth::attempt($loginData)) {

            // If they logged in correct lets give them this :)



            return Redirect::away('https://google.co.nz/');

        } else {

            // If not they can have this



            return Redirect::to('/');

        }

    }

in order to replace the error message, create an array for the custom messages:

    $customMessages = [

        'username.required' => 'Username cannot be empty.',

        'password.required' => 'Password cannot be empty.',

    ];

    $validator = Validator::make($request->all(),$rules,$customMessages);

You can look at the docs here.

Validation rules:

$rules = [

                'username' => 'required',

                'password' => 'required',

            ];

Custom messages if validation fails

 $messages = ['username' => 'error with username.',

'password'=>'error with password.'];

Validate input with rules, adding in custom messages

$validator = Validator::make(Input::all(), $rules, $messages);

Hey buddy you don't pass any request parameter for that it's not working

public function processLogin(Request $request) {



// Lets create some simple validation rules for login



$rules = array(



    'username' => 'required',

    'password' => 'required',

);



// Lets check the guest filled in all the correct details :)



$validator = Validator::make(Input::all(), $rules);



// Lets redirect back to login page if they have not



if ($validator->fails()) {

    return Redirect::to('/')

        ->withErrors($validator)

        ->withInput(Input::except('password')); //Sends back only room name

} else {

    // We will create an array of login information :)



    $loginData = array(

        'username' => Input::get('username'),

        'password' => Input::get('password'),

    );



    // Lets Login



    if (Auth::attempt($loginData)) {

        // If they logged in correct lets give them this :)



        return Redirect::away('https://google.co.nz/');

    } else {

        // If not they can have this



        return Redirect::to('/');

    }

}

don't forget to import request class

use IlluminateHttpRequest;

remove cache to give following command on your terminal

php artisan config:cahce 

php artisan view:clear 

php artisan route:clear

Okey, so you are trying to change the "default" errors messages, and not create a new rule. I see some above have been answering but this is my 2 cents, very clean and simple.

public function store(Request $request)

{

    $messages = [

        'username.required' => 'You must have a username!',

        'password.required' => 'Please add a password...'

    ];



    $request->validate([

        'username' => 'required',

        'password' => 'required'

    ], $messages);



   // And here is the code that should be executed if the validation is valid



   return 'Everything seems to work!';

}
