Laravel 5 Message Bags: Checking if Messages Exist for a Specific Input Key With has

By John Koster

The has method can be used to determine if messages exist within the MessageBag instance for a given $key. The has method returns true if messages exist for the given $key, and returns false if no messages exist.

#Signature

The signature of the has method is:

1public function has(

2    $key

3);

The following examples demonstrate the usage of the has method:

 1use Illuminate\Support\MessageBag;

 2

 3// Create a new MessageBag instance.

 4$messageBag = new MessageBag;

 5

 6// false

 7$hasMessage = $messageBag->has('test');

 8

 9// Add the message to the message bag.

10$messageBag->add('test', 'Example message');

11

12// true

13$hasMessage = $messageBag->has('test');
