Custom error format response Lumen Framework

Controller.php

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Laravel\Lumen\Routing\Controller as BaseController;

class Controller extends BaseController
{
    public function __construct()
    {
        $this->customErrorFormat();
    }

    /**
     * Custom error response format
     *
     * @return Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    private function customErrorFormat()
    {
        static::$errorFormatter = function ($validator) {
            $arr = [];
            foreach ($validator->errors()->toArray() as $key => $value) {
                $arr[$key] = $value[0];
            }

            return [
                'errors' => $arr,
                'meta'   => [
                    'code'    => 422,
                    'message' => 'VALIDATION_FAILED',
                ],
            ];
        };
    }
}

👍 Thanks for this. Always nice when copy and pasting someone else's code solves your problem.

Thank you for this!
