Skip the Validator Message argument in Laravel 8-CodePudding

I'm trying to pass custom attributes as the fourth argument to the Validator. But, I don't want to add any custom messages. In order to do that, I need to skip the messages argument.

$validator = Validator::make($request->all(),[
                'firmType' => 'required',
                'firmName' => 'required|max:255',
                'firmCode' => 'required'
            ],$message,[
                'firmType' => 'Firm Type',
                'firmName' => 'Firm Name',
                'firmCode' => 'Firm Code'
            ]);

I need to skip to provide $message array as I don't have any custom messages. Appreciate it if anyone could help with this.

I personally think this is one of the limitations of using Validator::make(..).

I would suggest you make a seperate Form Request (https://laravel.com/docs/8.x/validation#creating-form-requests) where you supply rules and attributes as methods.

public function rules()
{
    return [
       'firmType' => 'required',
       'firmName' => 'required|max:255',
       'firmCode' => 'required'
    ];
}

public function attributes()
{
    return [
      'firmType' => 'Firm Type',
      'firmName' => 'Firm Name',
      'firmCode' => 'Firm Code'
    ];
}

The below is the idea that I used to solve. Need to Pass an empty array for $message argument

$validator = Validator::make($request->all(),[
            'firmType' => 'required',
            'firmName' => 'required|max:255',
            'firmCode' => 'required'
        ],[],[
            'firmType' => 'Firm Type',
            'firmName' => 'Firm Name',
            'firmCode' => 'Firm Code'
        ]);
