Validation errors card for Laravel Pulse

#Validation errors card for Laravel Pulse

A card for Laravel Pulse to show validation errors impacting users.

#Installation

First, install the package via composer:

composer require timacdonald/pulse-validation-errors

Next, add the recorder to your config/pulse.php:

 
return [
    // ...
 
    'recorders' => [
        TiMacDonald\Pulse\Recorders\ValidationErrors::class => [
            'enabled' => env('PULSE_VALIDATION_ERRORS_ENABLED', true),
            'sample_rate' => env('PULSE_VALIDATION_ERRORS_SAMPLE_RATE', 1),
            'capture_messages' => true,
            'ignore' => [
                // '#^/login$#',
                // '#^/register$#',
                // '#^/forgot-password$#',
            ],
        ],
 
        // ...
    ],
];

[!Warning] Make sure to configure the sample_rate for your application. This card may capture a lot of data if you have a lot of users hitting validation errors.

Next, add the card to your resources/views/vendor/pulse/dashboard.php:

<x-pulse>
    <livewire:pulse.validation-errors cols="8" rows="4" />
 
    <!-- ... -->
</x-pulse>

Finally, get to improving your user experience. At LaraconUS I gave a talk on how much our validation sucks. If you are here, you likely also care about how your users experience validation errors on your app, so I'd love you to give it a watch.
