ValidationRules Last updated: 2022-10-01

You need to check the values entered during the process of storing or updating your database

We are aware of your intentions and are working to provide the best and fastest ways that suit you and reduce the consumption of time and effort

Well let's see that we have a field to store the name

text()->make('Name', 'name')

There are three methods that can be used during the data validation process

The methods are

text()->make('Name', 'name')->rule()
// or
text()->make('Name', 'name')->ruleWhenCreate()
// or
text()->make('Name', 'name')->ruleWhenUpdate()

rule() It is generally applied during store or update

ruleWhenCreate() It is generally applied during store

ruleWhenUpdate() It is generally applied during update

We can set an example forcing the user to enter a value while checking the type of the value

text()->make('Name', 'name')->rule('required','string')
// or as array
text()->make('Name', 'name')->rule(['required','string'])

//The same method can be applied to other methods ruleWhenCreate() , ruleWhenUpdate()

can be used Illuminate\Validation\Rule Object

Another example with email address and and with current ID from resource according to Model

email()->make('Email Address', 'email')
				->ruleWhenUpdate('required',
					'email',
					// 'unique:users,email,'.$this->id,
					Rule::unique('users')->ignore($this->id)
				)->ruleWhenCreate('unique:users', 'email'),

See we have used the first two cases during store while making sure that the value is not repeated during store
The second is not to verify the same entered value and to search for repetition of the value in other data when Update

Another idea, the three methods can be used again

email()->make('Email Address', 'email')
				->rule('required','email') // applied with store and update
				->ruleWhenUpdate( // check for unique email when update
					// 'unique:users,email,'.$this->id,
					Rule::unique('users')->ignore($this->id)
				)->ruleWhenCreate('unique:users', 'email'), // applied when store
