README

A simple and easier validation functionality built on top of Laravel Validator class.

This library is majorly for Lumen but can also plugged into a Laravel application and easily manage validation.

Core functionalities are:

1. Validates incoming request data and returns an array of validated parameters
2. It can also return a model object if you like, just set the model parameters
3. You can also extract validated fields even if the validation fails
4. It can be injected into your controller class and usage is smooth

How to install

Install via composer

$ composer install nobelatunje/laravel-validator

How to use in your controller

use Nobelatunje\LaravelValidator;

class CustomerController extends Controller {

    public function create(LaravelValidator $validator, Request $request) {

        //set validation rules
        $this->setValidationRules($validator);

        if($validator->validate($request)) {

            //save the customer
            $validator->customer->save();
                
            //do other things
            

        } else {
            //return the error message or do something else
            return $validator->error_message;
        }

    private function setValidationRules(LaravelValidator $validator) {
        //set the model params
        $validator->setModelParams(Customer::class, 'customer')
