Overwrite the invalid token message for password reset - php

Question

How can you overwrite the token message 'This password reset token is invalid.'
I've tried adding this into my ResetPasswordController but it still displays the default token message.
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers\Auth;
use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
use App\Providers\RouteServiceProvider;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\ResetsPasswords;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
class ResetPasswordController extends Controller
{
/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Password Reset Controller
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| This controller is responsible for handling password reset requests
| and uses a simple trait to include this behavior. You're free to
| explore this trait and override any methods you wish to tweak.
|
*/
use ResetsPasswords;
/**
* Where to redirect users after resetting their password.
*
* #return string
*/
public function redirectTo()
{
return config('user.redirect', route('user.dashboard'));
}
/**
* Get the password reset validation error messages.
*
* #return array
*/
protected function validationErrorMessages()
{
return [
'token' => 'This password reset token is invalid. Request a new password'
];
}
/**
* Display the password reset view for the given token.
*
* If no token is present, display the link request form.
*
* #param \Illuminate\Http\Request $request
* #return \Illuminate\Contracts\View\Factory|\Illuminate\View\View
*/
public function showResetForm(Request $request)
{
$token = $request->route()->parameter('token');
return view('auth.passwords.reset')->with(
['token' => $token, 'email' => $request->email]
);
}
}
I need to add a URL instead of just changing the text. Overwrite Error text for 'The password reset token is invalid' Laravel
I've discovered it's the $this->broker()->reset() which actually validates the token. Is the only way to overwrite the token message by fully overwrite this method?
/**
* Reset the given user's password.
*
* #param \Illuminate\Http\Request $request
* #return \Illuminate\Http\RedirectResponse|\Illuminate\Http\JsonResponse
*/
public function reset(Request $request)
{
$request->validate($this->rules(), $this->validationErrorMessages());
// Here we will attempt to reset the user's password. If it is successful we
// will update the password on an actual user model and persist it to the
// database. Otherwise we will parse the error and return the response.
$response = $this->broker()->reset(
$this->credentials($request), function ($user, $password) {
$this->resetPassword($user, $password);
}
);
// If the password was successfully reset, we will redirect the user back to
// the application's home authenticated view. If there is an error we can
// redirect them back to where they came from with their error message.
return $response == Password::PASSWORD_RESET
? $this->sendResetResponse($request, $response)
: $this->sendResetFailedResponse($request, $response);
}

You can override the sendResetFailedResponse method to change the message. The $response is passed to that method which is the translation key for that message which is passwords.token (See resources/lang/en/passwords.php).
/**
* Get the response for a failed password reset.
*
* #param \Illuminate\Http\Request $request
* #param string $response
* #return \Illuminate\Http\RedirectResponse|\Illuminate\Http\JsonResponse
*/
protected function sendResetFailedResponse(Request $request, $response)
{
if ($request->wantsJson()) {
throw ValidationException::withMessages([
'email' => ["Your custom error message here"],
]);
}
return redirect()->back()
->withInput($request->only('email'))
->withErrors(['email' => "Your custom error message here"]);
}
