The toArray method can be used to retrieve the MessageBag instance as an array. It internally accomplishes this by returning a call to the getMessages method.
#Signature
The signature of the toArray method is:
1public function toArray();
#Example Use
The following example demonstrates the usage of the toArray method:
1use Illuminate\Support\MessageBag;
2
3// Create a new MessageBag instance.
4$messageBag = new MessageBag;
5
6// Add new messages to the message bag.
7$messageBag->add('hello', 'The first message bag message');
8$messageBag->add('world', 'The second message');
9
10// Get an array of all the messages.
11$messages = $messageBag->toArray();
After the above code has executed, the $messages variable will be an array and contain a value similar to the following output:
1array
2 'hello' =>
3 array
4 0 => string 'The first message bag message'
5 'world' =>
6 array
7 0 => string 'The second message'
