Laravel Model Validator

An Eloquent way to validate Eloquent Models Value

Installing

Configuration

With Configuration File (Optional)

Registering the service provider will give you access to the php artisan model:validator {model} command as well as allow you to publish the configuration file. Registering the service provider is not required and only needed if you want to change the default namespace or use the artisan command

(Laravel 5.5 below) After installing the Model Validator library, register the ModelValidator\ServiceProvider::class in your config/app.php configuration file:

Copy the package config to your local config with the publish command:

In the config/modelvalidator.php config file. Set the namespace your model validators will reside in:

Usage

Basic

• The getData and getRules methods are necessary
• You can optionally add getMessage and getAttributes methods for custom message and attribute name.(see Laravel Validation Document)

First you would use artisan console to create an Validator

It will create an PostValidator in your Validators folder (default app/ModelValidators)

Then You would use the following methods:

Then just use the Validator where ever you want:

If there are validation errors, it will throw ValidationException and return 422 status code, just like $this->validate method in controller

Using Validatable Trait

You can implement the ModelValidator\Vaidatable trait on any Eloquent model:

This gives you access to the validate() method that accepts an validator:

It's shorter and more clear.
