Basic Validation

Basic validation for Laravel models. On creation and update events by default.

Usage

• if basic validation is required

class LaravelModel {
    use Hewison\BasicValidation;

    public $rules = [
        'column' => 'required'
    ];

    public $messages = [
        'column.required' => 'This is a custom message'
    ];
}

• if more advanced rules are required a method is provided

use Illuminate\Validation\Rule;

class LaravelModel {
    use Hewison\BasicValidation;

    const AVAILABLE_OPTIONS = [
        'option_1',
        'option_2',
    ];

    public function validationRules()
    {
        return [
            'column' => [
                'required',
                Rule::In(self::AVAILABLE_OPTIONS)
            ],
        ];
    }
}

• validation will fire when using any of the following methods

    LaravelModel::create();
    LaravelModel::update();
    LaravelModel::save();

• if you require that validation does not fire for specific events you can use php disableValidation()

    LaravelModel::find(1)->disableValidation()->update();
    LaravelModel::find(1)->enableValidation()->update();

• You can also remove specific rules for an event, this will bypass validation for specific columns

    LaravelModel::find(1)->removeRules('column')->update();
    LaravelModel::find(1)->removeRules(['column_1', 'column_2'])->update();
