Laravel Validation Array Validation
Example
Validating array form input fields is very simple.
Suppose you have to validate each name, email and father name in a given array. You could do the following:
$validator = \Validator::make($request->all(), [
'name.*' => 'required',
'email.*' => 'email|unique:users',
'fatherName.*' => 'required'
]);
if ($validator->fails()) {
return back()->withInput()->withErrors($validator->errors());
}
Laravel displays default messages for validation. However, if you want custom messages for array based fields, you can add the following code:
[
'name.*' => [
'required' => 'Name field is required',
],
'email.*' => [
'unique' => 'Unique Email is required',
],
'fatherName.*' => [
'required' => 'Father Name required',
]
]
Your final code will look like this:
$validator = \Validator::make($request->all(), [
'name.*' => 'required',
'email.*' => 'email|unique:users',
'fatherName.*' => 'required',
], [
'name.*' => 'Name Required',
'email.*' => 'Unique Email is required',
'fatherName.*' => 'Father Name required',
]);
if ($validator->fails()) {
return back()->withInput()->withErrors($validator->errors());
}
