How can I create custom validation messages in Laravel?

You can create custom validation messages in Laravel by defining them in the messages array of your validation rules.

Can you show me an example of how to do that?

Sure! In your controller, you can do something like this:

$request->validate([
    'email' => 'required|email',
], [
    'email.required' => 'The email field is mandatory.',
    'email.email' => 'Please provide a valid email address.',
]);

What if I want to use language files for these messages?

You can use language files by defining your custom messages in the resources/lang/{locale}/validation.php file. Then, reference them in your validation rules.
