Currently in lumen when you use the $this->validate($request, $rules) function inside of a controller it will throw a ValidationException with error for your validation rules(if any fail of course).
However, I need to have a code for every validation rule. We can set custom messages for rules, but I need to add a unique code.
I know there's a "formatErrorsUsing" function, where you can pass a formatter. But the data returned by the passed argument to it, has already dropped the names of the rules that failed, and replaced them with their messages. I of course don't want to string check the message to determine the code that should go there.
I considered setting the message of all rules to be "CODE|This is the message" and parsing out the code, but this feels like a very hacked solution. There has to be a cleaner way right?
I've solved this for now with the following solution:
private function ruleToCode($rule) {
$map = [
'Required' => 1001,
];
if(isset($map[$rule])) {
return $map[$rule];
}
return $rule;
}
public function formatValidationErrors(Validator $validator) {
$errors = [];
foreach($validator->failed() as $field => $failed) {
foreach($failed as $rule => $params) {
$errors[] = [
'code' => $this->ruleToCode($rule),
'field' => $field,
];
}
}
return $errors;
}
