Validator showing duplicate messages

[popovicieduard]

When validating via the Standalone validator, I receive duplicate messages on my response

export default class RegisterValidator {
  public schema = schema.create({
    username: schema.string({}, [
      rules.required(),
      rules.alpha(),
      rules.unique({ table: 'users', column: 'username' }),
      rules.minLength(4),
      rules.maxLength(60),
    ])
  })

response:

{
    "username": [
        "username is required",
        "username is required"
    ]
}

If i comment the rules.required(). the username will still show that it is required, and, it is strange because only the required rule acts this way, does anybody know why ?

By default schema.string() marks the field as required. So no need to specify that explicitly again.

True, if you remove rules.required() you will see the error message once.

Hmm, and what about updating ? How can I have optional rules when doing CRUD ?

It's covered in the docs. https://preview.adonisjs.com/guides/validator/usage#marking-fields-as-optional
