Laravel Custom Error Validation JSON Response Object to Array

Question

I try to create an API for the registration form if a user does not fill the required field. The validator show error in object format but i need json response in an array format.

$validator = Validator::make($request->all(), [ 
    'name' => 'required', 
    'mobile' => 'required', 
    'address' => 'required', 
]);
if ($validator->fails()) { 
    return response()->json(['error'=>$validator->errors()], 401);            
}

Current output is

 {
    "error": {
        "name": [
            "The name field is required."
        ],
        "mobile": [
            "The mobile field is required."
        ],
        "address": [
            "The addressfield is required."
        ]
    }
}

Expected output

{
  "error": [
      "The name field is required.",
      "The mobile field is required.",
      "The address field is required."
  ]
}

What is the issue in accessing the Current output you get?

Correct answer is this one:

$err = array();

        foreach ($validator->errors()->toArray() as $error)  {
            foreach($error as $sub_error){
                array_push($err, $sub_error);
            }
        }
        return ['errors'=>$err];

the inner foreach is added because maybe more than one validation condition fails for an input( like : password is too short & too weak).

and Mayank Pandeyz's answer for loop won't iterate because until we add toArray() to the end of $validator->errors().

For getting the expected result, iterate the $validator->errors() using foreach() loop and push all the values in an array and return that array like:

$err = array();
foreach ($validator->errors() as $error)
{
    array_push($err, $error);
}

return response()->json(['error'=>$err], 401);
