Composite Validation Rules

Validation Composite is a package by Paul Klimov that allows uniting several validation rules into a single one for easy reuse.

Here are a few simple examples that will help visualize how this package works. Let’s say you want to centralize your password or avatar rules into one composite rule:

 1<?php
 2
 3namespace App\Rules;
 4
 5use Illuminatech\Validation\Composite\CompositeRule;
 6
 7class PasswordRule extends CompositeRule
 8{
 9    protected function rules(): array
10    {
11        return ['string', 'min:8', 'max:200'];
12    }
13}
14
15class AvatarRule extends CompositeRule
16{
17    protected function rules(): array
18    {
19        return ['file', 'mimes:png,jpg,jpeg', 'max:1024'];
20    }
21}

Example usage of these composite rules looks like this in a controller:

 1public function update(Request $request)
 2{
 3    $validatedData = $request->validate([
 4        'password' => ['required', new PasswordRule],
 5        'avatar' => ['required', new AvatarRule],
 6        // ...
 7    ]);
 8
 9    // ...
10}
