I want to implement the validation use the Laravel required_if with multiple conditions.
I have an array of objects and want to validate that the attribute of the object will be required if the type=image and the isUsed of the object is false.
return request()->validate([
'sets.*.attribute' => 'required_if:type=image && sets.*.isUsed=false',
]);
How can I archive it?
You can use Rule
use Illuminate\Validation\Rule;
...
Rule::requiredIf(function () use ($request) {
$sets = collect($request->input('sets', []));
return $request->input('type') === 'image'
&& $sets->filter(fn($set) => $set['isUsed'])->isEmpty();
}),
Assuming $sets correspond to the following value and isUsed must be false on each set.
$sets = collect([
['isUsed' => false],
['isUsed' => false],
['isUsed' => false],
]);
More info in the documentation: https://laravel.com/docs/8.x/validation#rule-required-if
Note that I'm using the short arrow syntax from PHP7.4 fn() => ... if you're on a lower PHP version you will have to use standard anonymous function function () { ... }
I found a solution that can be applied for the request validation, it's more simple to use with the current implementation.
return request()->validate([
'sets.*.attribute' => function ($attr, $value, $fail) {
if (request()->input('type') == 'image' && !request()->input('sets')[explode('.', $attr)[1]]['isUsed'] && empty($value)) {
$fail('The ' . $attr . ' is required.');
}
},
]);
