Fluent Validation Rules builders for Laravel

Use fluent-style syntax to build Laravel validation rules

Example:

$rules = [
    'id' => Rule::int()->required(),
    'name' => Rule::string()->required()->minLength(3)->toString(),
    'email' => Rule::string()->required()->email()->toArray()
]

Advantages

• Strong typing
• Intellisence for available rules and parameters (if you use smart IDE, like PHPStorm)
• Hints about mistypings (if you use smart IDE, like PHPStorm)

Examples

Custom validation rules

You can also use custom declared validations:

$rules = [
    ... => Rule::custom('foo')
]

Installation

Install the saritasa/laravel-fluent-validation package:

$ composer require saritasa/laravel-fluent-validation

Add the FluentValidationServiceProvider in config/app.php:

'providers' => array(
    // ...
    Saritasa\Laravel\Validation\FluentValidationServiceProvider::class,
)

Note: You can omit service provider registration, but then you must call ->toString() or ->toArray() on each builder. If service provider is registered, manual casting of rule to string or array is not necessary and default Laravel's Illuminate\Validation\ValidationServiceProvider::class can be removed from 'providers' array.

Available classes

\Saritasa\Laravel\Validation\Rule

Root of your rule builder.
