Laravel Predefined options in form request

Question

I've created a FormRequest to validate some fields, and I would like that one of those fields only accept the options that a I give it

Searching I found something like this

"rule" => 'required|in:Option1,Option2,Option3',

This accept only the predifined options, but in the error message only shows

"The rule type is invalid."

And I would like that too shows the valid options predefined in the rules. How could i do this?

You can override the messages method of the FormRequest class to customise the error messages. - laravel.com/docs/9.x/validation#customizing-the-error-messages — Donkarnash

In the end I modified my rule to this:

"rule" => ['required', 'in:Option1,Option2,Option3']

and I customized the error message with the following

public function messages()
    {
        return [
            'rule.in' => 'The rule field must be Option1, Option2 or Option3.'
        ];
    }
