I have custom validation for validating data. The custom validation doesn't have unique
rule as I need to ignore this on update, therefore I am using unique
rule on store()
method. But this is ignored, and it only works if I change the custom validation with default validation.
It works if I have the following:
public function store(Request $request)
{
if (!$this->user instanceof Employee) {
return response()->json(['error' => 'Unauthorized'], 401);
}
$request->validate([
'name' => 'required|max:50|unique:centers'
]);
$center = Center::create($request->all());
return response()->json($center, 201);
}
But this doesn't work if I change the method signature to the following:
public function store(CustomValidation $request)
How can I use both together? I do not want to move the custom validation code inside the method as I have to repeat msyelf for update method then.
I think it will help you
use Illuminate\Contracts\Validation\Rule;
class CowbellValidationRule implements Rule
{
public function passes($attribute, $value)
{
return $value > 10;
}
public function message()
{
return ':attribute needs more cowbell!';
}
}
and
public function store()
{
// Validation message would be "song needs more cowbell!"
$this->validate(request(), [
'song' => [new CowbellValidationRule]
]);
}
or
public function store()
{
$this->validate(request(), [
'song' => [function ($attribute, $value, $fail) {
if ($value <= 10) {
$fail(':attribute needs more cowbell!');
}
}]
]);
}
