Exposed :key (in addition to :message)

[aajhiggs]

I have found use case where I could do with the key of the error array exposed (proposing :key).

If I echo out my errors, on some occasions I output the errors in a single block then treat them using JS (usually moving them to an element on the page by the ID stored in a data attribute).

If I want to print

:message

, I cannot currently access the :key part (where :key is the ID of the associated field).

Being able to do this (as adjusted) allows a user to identify exactly what field an individual message was associated with e.g. when using ->all(), and is a simple exposure of data already held in the object.

Example:

Format:

<li data-key=":key">:message</li>

<ul class="errors">
    <li data-key="item_firstname">You didn't enter your first name</li>
</ul>

Please take into account Laravel's coding standards:

• spaces between array elements
• the variable name should be $messagesKey

@franzliedke I think corrected it as I understand from what you've said. Apologies for the basic error, still getting to grips with keeping my work super neat!

Are you able to provide a couple of tests for this?

I think this is pretty sweet :)

+1 to @bencorlett it would be nice to have some tests. Let's try and keep the code coverage for L4 as high as possible shall we chaps?

Done. I added tests.
