You always need to build validations into your code to ensure the integrity of the data received by your system. When a rule needs to be changed, removed or added you need to change its source code for this to happen. With the dynamic-validations package this no longer happens, you can have different validations for different clients without the need for code changes. You just change, remove or add the validations in the database and they will be working dynamically in the next request that your system receives.
You can install the package via composer:
composer require edineivaldameri/dynamic-validationsTo carry out validation it is very simple: Just import the DynamicFormRequest request into your controller method.
class TestController
{
public function store(DynamicFormRequest $request): JsonResponse
{
$request->validate(); // This will validate the request according to the rules registered in the database
return response()->json([
'message' => 'Validated successfully',
], 200);
}
}To save a validation rule in the database, you can use the create method of the Rule model.
Rule::query()->create([
'action' => 'test.store', // Action that the rule will be applied to
'field' => 'name', // Field that the rule will be applied to
'rule' => 'required', // Rule to be applied
]); // This will create a rule that the name field is required
Rule::query()->create([
'action' => 'test.store', // Action that the rule will be applied to
'field' => 'name', // Field that the rule will be applied to
'rule' => 'min', // Rule to be applied
'value' => '5', // Value to be compared
'message' => 'The name must be at least 5 characters long', // Message to be returned in case of error
]); // This will create a rule that the name field must have at least 5 characters
// The field `action` is the name of the controller method that the rule will be applied to
// The field `value` and 'message' are optionalBut you don't need to worry, because dynamic-validations already has its own controller to receive requests and save and edit its rules in the database.
$this->post('dynamic', [
'action' => 'test.store',
'field' => 'name',
'rule' => 'required',
]);
// OR
$this->put("dynamic/{$ruleId}", [
'action' => 'test.store',
'field' => 'name',
'rule' => 'nullable',
