I am trying to get validator error message after it failed, but unsuccessfully. I have this code:
<?php
namespace App\Model\Validators\Common;
use App\Model\Contracts\AbstractClasses\Validator as BaseValidator;
use App\Model\Contracts\Interfaces\Validators\Common\ConversationMessageValidatorInterface;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Validator;
class ConversationMessageValidator extends BaseValidator implements ConversationMessageValidatorInterface
{
/**
* Validates message sending.
* @param mixed $data
* @return boolean
*/
public function validateCreate($data)
{
$this->validator = Validator::make($data, [
'message' => 'required'
]);
$this->validator->fails();
dd($this->validator->errors()->first());
}
}
<?php
namespace App\Model\Contracts\AbstractClasses;
use App\Model\Contracts\Interfaces\Validators\Common\ValidatorInterface;
class Validator implements ValidatorInterface
{
protected $validator;
/**
* Returns validator object.
* @return mixed
*/
public function getValidator()
{
return $this->validator;
}
/**
* Returns validation errors.
* @return mixed
*/
public function getErrors()
{
return $this->getValidator()->errors();
}
}
it dumps this message: "validation.required", even tough I have pretty much the same code in my previous project which works as I expect:
<?php
namespace App\Model\Validators\PresentationalSubsystem;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Validator;
use App\Model\Contracts\AbstractClasses\Validator as AbstractValidator;
use App\Model\Contracts\Interfaces\Validators\PresentationalSubsystem\ForumThreadValidatorInterface;
class ForumThreadValidator extends AbstractValidator implements ForumThreadValidatorInterface
{
public function validateThread($data)
{
$this->validator = Validator::make($data, [
'content' => 'required|string|min:1',
'description' => 'required|string|min:1',
'title' => 'required|string|min:1',
'forum_id' => 'required|exists:forums,id'
]);
$this->validator->fails();
print_r($this->validator->errors()->first());
}
}
And this prints out: The content field is required.
My question would be: why my first code does not print error message? instead it prints validation rule that fails. How to change that?
EDIT: validateCreate is called here:
public function sendMessage($account, $data)
{
if(!$this->conversationMessageValidator->validateCreate($data)) {
return $this->conversationMessageFormatter->prepareCreateResponseWithErrors($this->conversationMessageValidator->getErrors());
}
}
and this function is called from constructor:
public function sendMessage(Request $request, $conversationId)
{
$request->merge(['conversation_id' => $conversationId]);
return $this->conversationService->sendMessage(Auth::user(), $request->all());
}
