Laravel Zip Content Validator by Orkhan Ahmadov is a custom validation rule for checking the contents of an uploaded ZIP file:

use Orkhanahmadov\ZipValidator\Rules\ZipContent;
 
public function rules()
{
return [
'file' => [
'required',
'file',
'mimes:zip',
new ZipContent('thumb.jpg', 'assets/logo.png')
],
];
}

In addition to checking the existence of file paths, you can also validate the maximum size of a file. The unit of the value is bytes: 100000 equals 100KB:

new ZipContent(['thumb.jpg' => 100000, 'logo.png']);

You can also use an “or” style of validation. Here’s an example of “or” validation in tandem with maximum size:

new ZipContent(['thumb.jpg|thumb.png' => 100000]);

Finally, you can reject empty files with false as a second argument:

new ZipContent(['thumb.jpg', 'style.css'], false);

You can learn more about this package, get full installation instructions, and view the source code on GitHub: laravel-zip-validator.
