Hi guys,

In my project I've to check a custom rule on a model before save. I know I can use Validation Trait in my model but I want to use a custom validator in the form controller.

How should I do that and where can I put it ?

Hi,

What exactly you try to make? You can add validation rules in your model easy. Or do you need to write a custom validator because there is none which helps you? Surely you can also make a validation inside your controller method like this:

$rules = [];

$validator = Validator::make(Input::all(), $rules);

if ($validator->fails()) {
    return Redirect::to('yourroute')->withErrors($validator);
}

Thank you.

Yes, I need to write a custom rule. It's exactly that you wrote, but where put this code ? Which method in the controller ?

For now, I write it in formBeforeCreate but the model I get in parameters is empty so I can't check anything...

If you need a custom rule thats the wrong code. You have to extend the validator class. I think its good to make a seperate class for that like this:

<?php

class CustomValidator extends Illuminate\Validation\Validator
{

public function validateFoo($attribute, $value, $parameters)
{
    return $value == 'foo';
}

}

Than you need to register this extension like this:

Validator::resolver(function($translator, $data, $rules, $messages, $customAttributes) {
    return new CustomValidator($translator, $data, $rules, $messages, $customAttributes);
});
