I have form where I can add up to 30 option fields (option[1], option[2], ...) and for now Im using 'option.*' => 'required' rule in request validation but with this there is a little problem, if you submit form with all option fields empty it shows long error message with each option field required, but I need that it shows only one message for all options like: "Each option field is required".
Any ideas how to make it? Thanks!
I found a solution to this. I will post it here in case somebody needs it:
Basically, you need to override formatErrors method in your request validation class
protected function formatErrors(Validator $validator)
{
$errors = parent::formatErrors($validator);
// this will remove the keys that have index larger than 0
$keys = array_filter(array_keys($errors), function($item) {
$parts = explode('.', $item);
// you might want to modify this to match your fields,
// I had another level of keys
if (count($parts) === 3 and is_numeric($parts[1]) and (int)$parts[1] > 0) {
return false;
}
return true;
});
$errors = array_intersect_key($errors, array_flip($keys));
return $errors;
}
