V5: Validate request multiple times

[vkaelin]

Hi!

Is there a way to validate the incoming request multiple times with different Validators.
I tried the following code but the translation variable has the content of the first validation.

I tried to do it this way so that I could use my Validators in another controller.

public async store ({request, response}: HttpContextContract) {
  const metadata = await request.validate(ArticleStoreValidator)
  const translation = await request.validate(ArticleTranslationStoreValidator)

  const article = await Article.create(metadata)
  await article.related('translations').create(translation)

  await article.preload('translations')

  return response.json(article)
 }

Thanks!

It actually works if I edit the cacheKey of my ArticleTranslationStoreValidator Validator.

For example:

public cacheKey = `${this.ctx.routeKey}-translation`

Is it the right thing to do ?

Hey @vkaelin! 👋

Yes this is the right thing to do since both validator have the same routeKey.
You can read more about that in the Schema Caching documentation.
