I manage to use the Laravel Validation module in my project like this:
<?php
namespace Models;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model as eModel;
use Illuminate\Validation\Factory as ValidatorFactory;
use Symfony\Component\Translation\Translator;
class AbstractModel extends eModel {
public function validate($data)
{
$factory = new ValidatorFactory(new Translator('en'));
$v = $factory->make($data, $this->rules);
return $v;
}
public function save() {
$validator = $this->validate($this->toArray());
if(!$validator->passes())
{
$messages = $validator->messages();
print_r($messages);
die();
}
parent::save();
}
}
If I lunch that i get the follow output:
Illuminate\Support\MessageBag Object ( [messages:protected] => Array ( [email] => Array ( [0] => validation.required ) ) [format:protected] => :message )
"validation.required"
I dont know why the module does not get the default error strings. Im pretty sure the module is working ok because if I try to define some custom string like this:
$message = array(
'unique' => 'FOO',
'email' => ':attribute WORNG!!!!!',
'required' => ':attribute MUST WRITE EMAIL!!!!'
);
$factory = new ValidatorFactory(new Translator('en'));
$v = $factory->make($data, $this->rules, $message);
I get the output:
Illuminate\Support\MessageBag Object ( [messages:protected] => Array ( [email] => Array ( [0] => email MUST WRITE EMAIL!!!! ) ) [format:protected] => :message )
What am I missing?
