Laravel 5 View Error Bags: Getting all Message Bag Instances With getBags

The getBags method is used to return an associative array containing all the MessageBag instances that are currently stored within the ViewErrorBag instance.

#Signature

The signature of the getBags method is:

1public function getBags();

#Example Use

The following example demonstrates the basic usage of the getBags method:

 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 some message bags to $viewErrorBag
15$viewErrorBag->put('formErrors', $messageBag);
16$viewErrorBag->put('paymentErrors', new MessageBag);
17 
18// Get the message bags as an array.
19$messageBags = $viewErrorBag->getBags();

After the above code has executed, the $messageBags variable would be an array and contain a value similar to the following output:

 1array
 2  'formErrors' =>
 3    object(Illuminate\Support\MessageBag)
 4      protected 'messages' =>
 5        array
 6          'username' =>
 7            array
 8              ...
 9      protected 'format' => string ':message'
10  'paymentErrors' =>
11    object(Illuminate\Support\MessageBag)
12      protected 'messages' =>
13        array
14          empty
15      protected 'format' => string ':message'
