I have this request:
GET http://example.com/test?q[]=1&q[]=2&q[]=3
And I have this route:
Route::get('test', function(Request $req) {
$req->validate(['q' => 'array']);
});
How should I do to add other validation rules to each element of this array using Laravel validator? For example, I want to check that each q value has a minimum of 2.
Thank you for your help.
Take a look at the documentation about validating arrays.
$validator = Validator::make($request->all(), [
'person.*.email' => 'email|unique:users',
'person.*.first_name' => 'required_with:person.*.last_name',
]);
You can also do this in your controller using the Request object, documentation about validation logic.
public function store(Request $request)
{
$validatedData = $request->validate([
'title' => 'required|unique:posts|max:255',
'body' => 'required',
]);
// The blog post is valid...
}
There is a third option for when you have a lot of validation rules and want to separate the logic in your application. Take a look at Form Requests
1) Create a Form Request Class
php artisan make:request StoreBlogPost
2) Add Rules to the Class, created at the app/Http/Requestsdirectory.
public function rules()
{
return [
'title' => 'required|unique:posts|max:255',
'body' => 'required',
];
}
3) Retrieve the request in your controller, it's already validated.
public function store(StoreBlogPost $request)
{
// The incoming request is valid...
// Retrieve the validated input data...
$validated = $request->validated();
}
You can do:
Route::get('test', function(Request $req) {
$req->validate([
'q' => 'array',
'q.*' => 'min:2'
]);
});
For more information on validation of arrays, see => laravel.com/docs/5.6/validation#validating-arrays
Suppose I got an array of users
users: [
{
"id": 1,
"name": "Jack",
},
{
"id": 2,
"name": "Jon"
}
]
I would validate it like below :
$request->validate([
'users[*]'=> [
"id" => ["integer", "required"],
"name" => ["string", "required"]
]
]);
Here * acts as a placeholder
