Displaying the Error Messages in Laravel after being Redirected from controller

Question

How can I display the validation message in the view that is being redirected in Laravel ?

Here is my function in a Controller

public function registeruser()
{
    $firstname = Input::get('firstname');
    $lastname = Input::get('lastname');
    $data  =  Input::except(array('_token')) ;
    $rule  =  array(
                'firstname'       => 'required',
                'lastname'         => 'required',
                   ) ;
    $validator = Validator::make($data,$rule);
    if ($validator->fails())
    {
    $messages = $validator->messages();
    return Redirect::to('/')->with('message', 'Register Failed');
    }
    else
    {
    DB::insert('insert into user (firstname, lastname) values (?, ?)',
                                array($firstname, $lastname));
    return Redirect::to('/')->with('message', 'Register Success');
    }
    }

I know the below given code is a bad try, But how can I fix it and what am I missing

@if($errors->has())
    @foreach ($errors->all() as $error)
        <div>{{ $error }}</div>
    @endforeach
@endif

Update : And how do I display the error messages near to the particular fields

Answer 1

When the validation fails return back with the validation errors.

if($validator->fails()) {
    return Redirect::back()->withErrors($validator);
}

You can catch the error on your view using

@if ($errors->any())
        {{ implode('', $errors->all('<div>:message</div>')) }}
@endif

UPDATE

To display error under each field you can do like this.

<input type="text" name="firstname">
@if ($errors->has('firstname'))
    <div class="error">{{ $errors->first('firstname') }}</div>
@endif

For better display style with css.

You can refer to the docs here.

Answer 2

If you want to load the view from the same controller you are on:

if ($validator->fails()) {
    return self::index($request)->withErrors($validator->errors());
}

And if you want to quickly display all errors but have a bit more control:

 @if ($errors->any())
     @foreach ($errors->all() as $error)
         <div>{{$error}}</div>
     @endforeach
 @endif

Answer 3

@if ($errors->has('category'))
    <span class="error">{{ $errors->first('category') }}</span>
@endif

Answer 4

Move all that in kernel.php if just the above method didn't work for you remember you have to move all those lines in kernel.php in addition to the above solution

let me first display the way it is there in the file already..

protected $middleware = [

    \Illuminate\Foundation\Http\Middleware\CheckForMaintenanceMode::class,
];

/**
 * The application's route middleware groups.
 *
 * @var array
 */
protected $middlewareGroups = [
    'web' => [
        \App\Http\Middleware\EncryptCookies::class,
        \Illuminate\Cookie\Middleware\AddQueuedCookiesToResponse::class,
        \Illuminate\Session\Middleware\StartSession::class,
        \Illuminate\View\Middleware\ShareErrorsFromSession::class,
        \App\Http\Middleware\VerifyCsrfToken::class,
    ],

    'api' => [
        'throttle:60,1',
    ],
];

now what you have to do is

protected $middleware = [
    \Illuminate\Foundation\Http\Middleware\CheckForMaintenanceMode::class,
     \App\Http\Middleware\EncryptCookies::class,
        \Illuminate\Cookie\Middleware\AddQueuedCookiesToResponse::class,
        \Illuminate\Session\Middleware\StartSession::class,
        \Illuminate\View\Middleware\ShareErrorsFromSession::class,
        \App\Http\Middleware\VerifyCsrfToken::class,
];

/**
 * The application's route middleware groups.
 *
 * @var array
 */
protected $middlewareGroups = [
    'web' => [

    ],

    'api' => [
        'throttle:60,1',
    ],
];

i.e.;

Answer 5

{!! Form::text('firstname', null !!}

@if($errors->has('firstname')) 
    {{ $errors->first('firstname') }} 
@endif

Answer 6

A New Laravel Blade Error Directive comes to Laravel 5.8.13

// Before
@if ($errors->has('email'))
    <span>{{ $errors->first('email') }}</span>
@endif

// After:
@error('email')
    <span>{{ $message }}</span>
@enderror
