Laravel Form Request(s)
Introduction
Custom requests (or Form Requests) are useful in situations when one wants to authorize & validate a request before hitting the controller method.
One may think of two practical uses, creating & updating a record while each action has a different set of validation (or authorization) rules.
Using Form Requests is trivial, one has to type-hint the request class in method.
Syntax
- php artisan make:request name_of_request
Remarks
Requests are useful when separating your validation from Controller. It also allows you to check if the request is authorized.
