Laravel 6 Form Validation with Error Messages

In this Tutorial, i will explain you how to use form validation in laravel 6. we will use laravel 6 form validation with display error messages on view file. we can use laravel default validation rules like required, email, unique, numeric, date, ip, in_array, it, ite, max, min, image, mimes etc.

You can also define custom error messages in laravel 6 form validation. we will display error message with each field. we will use has() for checking is error message in laravel 6.

Here, i am going to show you very simple example of form validation so, you can simply use in your laravel 6 project.

Step 1:Create Routes:

Here we are learning simple and easy example of validation in laravel 6 so just add following both route in your web.php file.

routes/web.php

Route::get('user/create', 'HomeController@create');
Route::post('user/create', 'HomeController@store');

Create Controller:

Now we will add two controller method, one will just display blade file with get request, and another for post request, i write validation for that, so simply add both following method on it.

app/Http/Controllers/HomeController.php

<?php
  
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
  
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\User;
  
class HomeController extends Controller
{
    /**
     * Show the application dashboard.
     *
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function create()
    {
        return view('createUser');
    }
  
    /**
     * Show the application dashboard.
     *
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function store(Request $request)
    {
        $request->validate([
                'name' => 'required',
                'password' => 'required|min:5',
                'email' => 'required|email|unique:users'
            ], [
                'name.required' => 'Name is required',
                'password.required' => 'Password is required'
            ]);
   
        $input = $request->all();
        $input['password'] = bcrypt($input['password']);
        $user = User::create($input);
    
        return back()->with('success', 'User created successfully.');
    }
}

Create Blade File:

now here we will create createUser.blade.php file and here we will create bootstrap simple form with error validation message. So, let’s create following file:

resources/views/createUser.blade.php

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>Laravel 6 form validation example - ItSolutionStuff.com</title>
    <meta charset="utf-8">

<body>
    <div class="container">
  
        <h1>Laravel 6 form validation example</h1>
   
        @if(Session::has('success'))
        <div class="alert alert-success">
            {{ Session::get('success') }}
            @php
                Session::forget('success');
            @endphp
        </div>
        @endif
   
        <form method="POST" action="{{ url('user/create') }}">
  
            {{ csrf_field() }}
  
            <div class="form-group">
                <label>Name:</label>
                <input type="text" name="name" class="form-control" placeholder="Name">
                @if ($errors->has('name'))
                    <span class="text-danger">{{ $errors->first('name') }}</span>
                @endif
            </div>
   
            <div class="form-group">
                <label>Password:</label>
                <input type="password" name="password" class="form-control" placeholder="Password">
                @if ($errors->has('password'))
                    <span class="text-danger">{{ $errors->first('password') }}</span>
                @endif
            </div>
    
            <div class="form-group">
                <strong>Email:</strong>
                <input type="text" name="email" class="form-control" placeholder="Email">
                @if ($errors->has('email'))
                    <span class="text-danger">{{ $errors->first('email') }}</span>
                @endif
            </div>
   
            <div class="form-group">
                <button class="btn btn-success btn-submit">Submit</button>
            </div>
        </form>
    </div>
</body>
</html>
