How to customize error messages in Laravel 8

On a website, validation errors and full-page errors are ways to show the user that the request does not proceed so they should be as clear as crystal.

Customize Validation Errors

For customizing the rule and attribute of validation Laravel has a separate file called validation.php in

resources/lang/xx/validation.php.

If you just want to edit the validation message you should define your custom message with attribute name in the “custom” array.

'custom' => [
    'name' => [
        'required' => 'Please Enter Your Name'
    ],
],

For customizing the attributes name just add your attribute name in the “attributes” array

'attributes' => [
    'name' => 'Full Name',
],

Customize Error Pages

Laravel 8 error pages are in the vendor folder so you need to publish those pages into resources/views

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=laravel-errors

after publishing pages, you have access to them in

resources/views/errors

Feel free to edit the messages or the whole layout.
