Laravel MessageBag Public API: keys

The keys method is used to retrieve all of keys stored inside the MessageBag instance. The following code example demonstrate the usage of the keys method:

 1<?php
 2 
 3use Illuminate\Support\MessageBag;
 4 
 5// Create a new MessageBag instance.
 6$messageBag = new MessageBag;
 7 
 8// Add items to the MessageBag
 9$messageBag->add('first',  'First Message');
10$messageBag->add('second', 'Second Message');
11$messageBag->add('third',  'Third Message');
12$messageBag->add('fourth', 'Fourth Message');
13 
14// Get the MessageBag keys.
15$keys = $messageBag->keys();

After the above code has executed, the $keys variable will be an array that contains a value similar to the following output:

1array (size=4)
2  0 => string 'first'  (length=5)
3  1 => string 'second' (length=6)
4  2 => string 'third'  (length=5)
5  3 => string 'fourth' (length=6)

It can be seen that the results contain only the keys that were added to the MessageBag instance.
