Laravel 5 View Error Bags: Determining if There Are Any Error Messages With any

The any method can be used to determine if the error message bag contains any messages. It is a convenience method and acts a shortcut to calling the count method within a conditional statement. The any method returns a boolean value.

#Signature

The signature of the any method is:

1public function any();

#Example Use

The following examples are equivalent:

 1use Illuminate\Support\ViewErrorBag;
 2use Illuminate\Support\MessageBag;
 3 
 4// Create a new ViewErrorBag instance.
 5$viewErrorBag = new ViewErrorBag;
 6 
 7// Create a new MessageBag instance.
 8$messageBag = new MessageBag([
 9    'username' => [
10        'The username is required.'
11    ]
12]);
13 
14// Add the new MessageBag instance to
15// the ViewErrorBag
16$viewErrorBag->put('formErrors', $messageBag);
17 
18if ($viewErrorBag->count() > 0) {
19    // Perform some action when there are messages.
20}
21 
22if ($viewErrorBag->any()) {
23    // Perform some action when there are messages.
24}
