How to get array index in validation message Laravel 5.2

These arrays I put into Laravel Validator as arguments:

['item.*' => 'string'] // rules

['item.*.string' => 'Item number (index) is not string'] // messages

I want to have index number in validation message. Code above is just for demonstration and does not work. How to do this?

Try this or use this one

    'name' : [ { 'value' : 'raju' } , { 'value' : 'rani'} ]       

and validate it by

    'name.*' or 'name.*.value' => 'required|string|min:5'       

The message will be

    'name.*.required' => 'The :attribute is required'       
    'name.*.value.required' => 'The :attribute is required'      

I think it will help to you..

Try this one,

public function messages()
{
    $messages = [];
    foreach ($this->request->get('name') as $key => $value){
        $messages['name.'. $key .'.required'] = 'The item '. $key .'  is not string';
    }
    return $messages;
}
