I am currently trying to validate a 'Create Articles' form in my first Laravel application and I am having some problems. I have been following along with a tutorial that is meant for Laravel 5, however, and I am running Laravel 5.2 on this project. I have read through the documentation for Validation in Laravel 5.2 and I have asked another Laravel Developer but we just cannot seem to figure it out.
CreateArticleRequest.php
namespace App\Http\Requests;
use App\Http\Requests\Request;
class CreateArticleRequest extends Request
{
/**
* Determine if the user is authorized to make this request.
*
* @return bool
*/
public function authorize()
{
return true;
}
/**
* Get the validation rules that apply to the request.
*
* @return array
*/
public function rules()
{
return [
'title' => 'required|min:3',
'body' => 'required',
'published_at' => 'required|date'
];
}
}
create() and store() from ArticlesController.php
public function create()
{
return view('articles.create');
}
public function store(CreateArticleRequest $request)
{
Article::create($request->all());
return redirect('articles');
}
Where I am trying to load the errors in create.blade.php
{{ dd($errors->all()) }}
@if ($errors->any())
<ul class="alert alert-danger">
@foreach ($errors->all() as $error)
<li>{{ $error }}</li>
@endforeach
</ul>
@endif
The ErrorBag that is returned from $errors is completely empty and doesn't seem to want to populate. I have also tried to use the Validator $validator but I cannot seem to get that to even load in.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
