jQuery Validate custom messages

Question

I have an input that I want to display a custom error message on when the user doesn't fill it out.

    <input type="text" class="foo" value="" data-prop="foo" data-rules="{ required: true }"></input>

How do I add a custom error message to this specific input?

Use:

data-msg-required="Please enter something here!"
