Set One Custom message for multiple field in laravel form validation

Question

Let I have 3 fields in the form.

I write this code for form validation.

$rules = array(
                'field_1' => 'required',
                'field_2' => 'required',
                'field_3' => 'required',
            );


$messages = array(
                'field_1.required' => 'Please fill up all value',
                'field_2.required' => 'Please fill up all value',
                'field_3.required' => 'Please fill up all value',
            );

$validator = Validator::make(Input::all(), $rules, $messages);

Now if user fill up the form 2 fields with blank then the validator return two error message. If user fill up the form 3 fields with blank then the validator return three error message. But I want to show only one message for all fields.

So you want it to say "Some fields are empty" as in representing multiple fields or return one string of error messages as in "field 1 is empty, field 2 is empty" etc — Brian Dillingham, Sep 07 '14 at 07:28

you could change it to

$messages = array(
    'required' => 'Please fill up all value',
);
validator = Validator::make(Input::all(), $rules, $messages);

and let your view only output the first error message.

{{ $errors->first(null,'<div class="alert alert-danger">:message</div>') }}
