PHP laravel 5 validation errors with input name as key

Question

I am trying to make an ajax based form for laravel, but im using the laravel validation method to check the input.

The validation errors return a basic list of errors, but I need the specific input name used as a key for each item in the array. I will need this so I can add the message next to the input via javascript.

I have looked at the documentation but cant seem to find anything that will do this. I want to avoid checking each input for errors individually so i can reuse the code on other forms.

Have I missed something here, any ideas on how I can achieve this?

PHP

$rules = ['username' => 'required', 'password' => 'required'];
$validator = Validator::make(Request::input(), $rules);

if($validator->fails())
{
    $data = $validator->errors()->all();
}

RESULT:

$data = [
    0 => 'The username field is required.',
    1 => 'The password field is required.'
]

DESIRED RESULT:

$data = [
    'username' => 'The username field is required.',
    'password' => 'The password field is required.'
]

Instead of $validator->errors()->all() use $validator->errors()->messages() to get the errors keyed by their input names:

$data = [
    'username' => [
        0 => "The username field is required."
    ],
    'password' => [
        0 => "The password field is required."
    ],
 ];

I think you make mistake there.

$data = ['validation' => $validator->errors()->all()];

Try this

$rules = ['username' => 'required', 'password' => 'required'];
$validator = Validator::make(Request::input(), $rules); 
if($validator->fails()) { 
$data = $validator->errors()->all(); 
}

I did thank you, but this doesn't help me solve the issue of the array not containing messages with input names as keys.
