Laravel 5 Message Bags: Getting all of the Message Keys With keys

By John Koster

The keys method is used to retrieve all of keys stored inside the MessageBag instance.

#Signature

The signature of the keys method is:

1public function keys();

#Example Use

The following code example demonstrate the usage of the keys method:

 1use Illuminate\Support\MessageBag;

 2

 3// Create a new MessageBag instance.

 4$messageBag = new MessageBag;

 5

 6// Add items to the MessageBag

 7$messageBag->add('first',  'First Message');

 8$messageBag->add('second', 'Second Message');

 9$messageBag->add('third',  'Third Message');

10$messageBag->add('fourth', 'Fourth Message');

11

12// Get the MessageBag keys.

13$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

2  0 => string 'first'

3  1 => string 'second'

4  2 => string 'third'

5  3 => string 'fourth'

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