Robust way to pass labels to validator

[huglester]

Hello,

I am playing now with the lib. so far very good impressions.
But I can't find on how to link validation labels with labels from this package...

so for example I have this:

            $this
                ->add('pkg', 'text', [
                    'label' => trans('setting.package_label')
                ])

On the form, I see correct Label, but when getting validation errors (using formRequests), of course I see invalid labels.. like 'pkg' and not the translated string.

Maybe you can share some ideas on this? :)

Thank you!

Form requests support the

    public function attributes()
    {
        return [
            'pkg' => trans('setting.pkg_label'),
            'key' => trans('setting.key_label'),
        ];
    }

so I thought, maybe it would be good idea to add ability pass the FormRequestClass, and the system could for example check if there there are attributes, and if so, try to get label from there.

It could also add even more benefits.. for Example we could call rules() method on Request class,
and for example automaticly add <span class=required>*</span> when the rule required exists and so on.

But maybe there are better ways to do that :)

Thanks!

You handle those translations here: https://github.com/laravel/laravel/blob/master/resources/lang/en/validation.php#L96

@huglester , is it working for you now?

[huglester]

This probably would work, but I am searching for a way, where, for example:
we have country_id.
But maybe I would like the label to be "Country"
but in another place, it should be "Issuer country" or something like that.

Think I will need to extend your class. But thanks for helping @kristijanhusak

You can handle that through Validator, with 3rd parameter to the Make method. Check here
http://laravel.com/docs/5.0/validation#custom-error-messages

But is there any way to integrate validation all together with this package? so basicly I specify label for forms, and it is used in validator?

I have currently done that in my extension, but wanna make sure it does not exist in this package:) thanks

No, there is no validation, and i'm not planning to add it because Laravel 5 have form requests that handle that pretty well. Only errors are shown, but that is pulled from session.
