Laravel MessageBag Public API: setFormat

By John Koster November 29, 2016

setFormat($format = ':message')

The setFormat is the logical opposite of the getFormat method. It allows developers to customize the format used by all methods of the MessageBag instance. It defines a $format parameter, whose argument will be used as the value of the new format. If the setFormat method is called without supplying a value for $format, it will reset the format to the default value (because of the parameter's default value).

 1<?php
 2
 3use Illuminate\Support\MessageBag;
 4
 5// Create a new MessageBag instance.
 6$messageBag = new MessageBag;
 7
 8// :message
 9$format = $messageBag->getFormat();
10
11// Change the format.
12$messageBag->setFormat('<li>:message</li>');
13
14// <li>:message</li>
15$format = $messageBag->getFormat();
16
17// Reset the format.
18$messageBag->setFormat();
19
20// :message
21$format = $messageBag->getFormat();
