A package that helps developer to segregate the validation logic from controller to a separate dedicated class. Lumen doesn't have any FormRequest class like Laravel. This will let you do that.

Installation

composer require albertcht/lumen-form-request

Add the service provider in bootstrap/app.php

$app->register(AlbertCht\Form\FormRequestServiceProvider::class);

Next step is create your FormRequest and extends from AlbertCht\Form\FormRequest

Example

<?php

namespace App\Http\Requests;

use AlbertCht\Form\FormRequest;

class StoreDeviceRequest extends FormRequest
{
	public function authorize()
	{
		return true;
	}

	public function rules()
	{
		return [
			'mac_address' => 'required|unique:devices,mac_address'
		];
	}
}
