I am trying to display form errors in case form validation fails. Everything works fine and form is validated correctly but it does not display form errors in view. Every time an empty array is returned as errors.

namespace AppHttpControllers;



use IlluminateHttpRequest;

use IlluminateSupportFacadesAuth;



class HomeController extends Controller

{

    public function storeProjectDetails(Request $request)

   {

    $messages = [

        'title.required' => 'Please enter trip title',

        'title.max' => 'Only 254 characters are allowed as trip title',

        'startDate.required' => 'Please enter trip start date',

        'startDate.date' => 'Only date formats are allowed as start date',

        'endDate.required' => 'Please enter trip end date',

        'endDate.date' => 'Only date formats are allowed as end date',

    ];



    $this->validate($request,[

        'title' => 'required|string|max:254',

        'startDate' => 'required|date',

        'endDate' => 'required|date',

    ]);



  }

}

View:

  print_r($errors->all());

used this

@if($errors->has())

   @foreach ($errors->all() as $error)

      <div>{{ $error }}</div>

  @endforeach

@endif

First you need to check for errors using an if condition then you need to print the errors using a loop as given below

@if ($errors->any())

        <ul>

            @foreach ($errors->all() as $error)

                <li>{{ $error }}</li>

            @endforeach

        </ul>

@endif

In your case, you are missing to return the errors array in your controller. Try the validation check given below.

$this->validate($request,[

        'title' => 'required|string|max:254',

        'startDate' => 'required|date',

        'endDate' => 'required|date',

    ], $messages);

You are building the messages array in a wrong format, it should look like this:

$messages = [

    'required' => 'Please enter :attribute',

    'date' => 'Only date formats are allowed as :attribute',

    ...

];
