[L5] Nice Names Attributes - Validation
Hello all!
Im working on validation form, I would like to display betters names when the user get any error, for example: Actual i have: "The user_email is required" , this is better: "The Email Address is required."
In a google search I just found this way, http://blog.ign.uy/2013/set-friendly-names-for-validation-attributes-in-laravel
But is not so cool, i'm using request to validate my form!
Thank you all.

You have at least two options that come to mind:
- Rename your form input to email_address, and Laravel should automatically remove the underscore and give a pretty error message, or
- Use custom error messages in your validator

So I did this...
'custom' => [
'email_address' => [
'required' => 'Well you need to tell us your email address :)',
],
],
but where to change in Request to use my new custom msg?
CustomRequest.php
public function rules()
{
return [
'email_address' => 'required',
];
}

@luanrodriguesp it should do. Is there many lang files ?
Level 6
@luanrodriguesp - might seem like an obvious question, but did you rename the actual text field in the view to email_address?

Is it actually possible to disable the automatic underscore removal? When working on an API this is not a good thing.
