This package is abandoned and no longer maintained. The author suggests using the caneara/axiom package instead.

A package that provides a library of reusable Laravel validation rules.

v3.2.1 2021-03-25 12:05 UTC

README

This package provides a library of reusable validation rules for your Laravel projects. Use them to augment the existing set provided by Laravel itself.

Installation

Pull in the package using composer

composer require caneara/axiom

Upgrading

Axiom includes several breaking changes from the original package, so you'll need to follow these steps if you were using the old version:

  1. Ensure that you are using PHP 7.4 or later.
  2. Remove alphametric/laravel-validation-rules from your composer.json file.
  3. Run composer update to remove the package from your vendor directory.
  4. Install Axiom by running composer require caneara/axiom.
  5. Replace all instances of use Alphametric\Validation with use Axiom.
  6. The EndsWith rule has been removed as Laravel now natively supports this.
  7. The Equals rule has been removed. Instead, you should use Laravel's native in rule with a single option.
  8. The DoesNotExist rule has been renamed to Missing.

Usage

As per the Laravel documentation, simply import the relevant validation class wherever you require it, and then include it within the rules for a particular field:

use Axiom\Rules\StrongPassword;

// ...

$request->validate([
    'password' => ['bail', 'required', new StrongPassword],
]);

IMPORTANT: As with all custom rules, you cannot use a pipe-delimited string. You must instead use an array e.g.

'password' => ['bail', 'required', new StrongPassword] // correct
'password' => 'bail|required|new StrongPassword'       // wrong

If the validation fails, the package will attempt to respond with a localized error message (see message keys below). If the key does not exist, it will fall back to a hard-coded English language version.
