I just need to display a single error message when there is any error without creating all the possibile DIVs with the exact error class. Is that possibile?

Thanks for the suggestion! 👍

Could you expand a bit on your use case? I cannot think of a situation where not being specific about an error would improve the user experience. I know properly handling form errors can become tedious but I'd like GentleForm to encourage developers to provide a better user experience.

You can also use the includes to declare the error messages once and reuse them as much as needed (see reusing messages).

The use case is when you use a single full error message like this: "The password is mandatory and must be at least 8 chars with 1 uppercase and 1 number". So this cover any case. Also in multilingual application, having multiple error message with different text for the same field is a pain :-)
