In my application I have a request file as below:
storeFactoryUser.php
public function rules()
{
return [
'factory_users' => 'array',
'factory_users.*.first_name' => 'required',
'factory_users.*.last_name' => 'required',
'factory_users.*.username' => 'required|alpha_dash|unique:users,username',
'factory_users.*.f_user_email' => 'required|unique:users,email',
'factory_users.*.external_ref' => 'required'
];
}
Now when I enter a username that already exists, it returns an error message as below:
The factory_users.1.username has already been taken.
Instead of displaying it as above, I need to display it with the array value, for example:
Given factory user's username factory1 has already been taken.
To achieve this, I wrote a message function as below:
public function messages()
{
$messages = [];
foreach ($this->factory_users as $key => $factory_user) {
$messages['factory_users.*.username.alpha_dash|unique:users,username'] = "Given factory user's username ".$factory_user['username'].' has already been taken.';
}
return $messages;
}
But still, it returns the same error message which I've mentioned above.
