添加自定义验证错误消息laravel

Question

I can do something like this to validate something on the controller.

$this->validate($request,[
'myinput'=>'regex:some pattern'
]);

and the output of this would be something like this

The myinput format is invalid.

What i want was to show something of my own message

Only some pattern allowed

How do i achieve this on laravel?

You can add custom validation messages to language files, like resources/lang/en/validation.php.

Another way to do that, from docs:

'custom' => [
    'email' => [
        'regex' => 'Please use your company email address to register. Webmail services are not permitted.'
    ],
    'lawyer_legal_fields' => [
        'number_of_areas' => 'You\'re not allowed to select so many practice areas'
    ],
],

You may customize the error messages used by the form request by overriding the messages method.

public function messages()
{
    return [
        'title.required' => 'A title is required',
        'body.required'  => 'A message is required',
    ];
}
