Try to use laravel validate and catch error in case file is bigger than upload_max_size or post_max_size!

Custom validation error messages tip was really an eye-opener for me 😅 I thought I'd have to do manual validation to accommodate the client's required messages in three different languages 😬

Hi to everyone! There is a way to validate a two fields unique combination? I'm in a project which need to validate a combination of slug and category (The user can choose the slug in the form) in order to avoid duplicated urls. Thanks in advance

[@randomguy5922]

Sir, please reply. One of my senior told me to use validations inside MODELS, but in Laravel, I generally use FORM-REQUESTS to validate data (I use the same form request for API and WEB requests), he a developer in some other language and told me that, if you will use validations in MODELS, you will not need to write separately validate request in API, SEEDERS, CONTROLLERS etc, you can use the model validation just from one place, check the validation at boot function while self::creating. So that anyone who tries to create any data using that model, validation must pass. What you think about this approach.

[@bumblebity2902]

I have issue with sometimes rule. I don't present any value to password and I get validation error rule, although it should trigger if I present some value.

[@debjit21]

Thank you for sharing. I validate phone number using this method 'digits:10'. What you are using?

[@LaravelDaily]

For phone numbers, there are special validation libraries depending on the country: blog.quickadminpanel.com/phone-field-validation-with-laravel-phone-package/ I would advise to NOT validate it like digits, cause there are different formats to write a phone number, like ([phone]

[@debjit21]

@@LaravelDaily Thank you. It's very usefull. I will try it on my projects. But in this case it is just 10 digital number because it a local project, and only mobile number is needed.

[@infureal]

You can get validated data not only from FormRequest. Simply do - $data = request()->validate([/*rules*/]); And in $data variable will be ONLY validated fields. It is usefull if you have unique validation rules in one place in your code

[@igerardogc]

If u do that u dont use SOLID principles

[@infureal]

@@igerardogc Yeap. But in video Povilas said that is no way to do that. I shoed that it's possible

Hello Sir, Can I used bootstrap instead of Tailwind in Jetstream ? If yes then how can used it.

[@LaravelDaily]

Yes, with Jetstrap: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hpWadnlop9Csha8

[@shadowsurounds]

question on $request->validated() 10:04 I tried it once and it didn't work. I then found out that the issue was that the Form Field "name" was different from the "Database Table" column name. So is there a way "out of the box" with Laravel to have the form field name="user_name" while the database table column name can be "name" and still make this work?

[@LaravelDaily]

In form request class you can manipulate with prepareForValidation()

[@Stoney_Eagle]

How can I use the age minimum restriction with a date field? Something like a (date now - filled date) >= 18, or is there a better way.

[@LaravelDaily]

Something like "before:" . now()->subYears(18)->toDateString()

[@Stoney_Eagle]

@@LaravelDaily thanks!

[@Stoney_Eagle]

@@LaravelDaily Sorry to bother you again but I have my laravel app translated on Middleware level, so on request it checks for the browser language or api accept language header. But the :date placeholder value from my translation file is not localized in the error message. My browser asks for day month year but the error says must be before year month date (in Dutch), witch is confusing for users. Where can I change this behavior? I don't want to confuse English speakers either by hard-coding it the other way like you wrote in your blog article.

Sir i have a question that how we validate unique email when we want to update user.

Sir, how to make unique validation of 2 or 3 fields in controller. ? So when inputting the same data on 2 or 3 fields a notification will appear that the inputted data already exists.

I would create a custom validation rule for this.

Hi. Offtopic. How to return response json from Request Form ?

[@guramikutivadze]

Better then $request->validated() is to use DTO but it doesn't means that validation is not required.
