Validate against an object's constructor

Your validation rules often belong in your domain model. Use the InstantiateRule to bring those rules into your Laravel validation.

class FormRequest 
{
    public function rules()
    {
        return [
            'email' => ['required', new InstantiateRule(EmailAddress::class)]
        ];
    }
}

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require morrislaptop/laravel-instantiate-rule

Usage

As a simple rule

class FormRequest 
{
    public function rules()
    {
        return [
            'email' => ['required', new InstantiateRule(EmailAddress::class)]
        ];
    }
}

For complex objects, it's assumed array keys match the constructor object or are in the order of the constructor.

class Address
{
    public function __construct(
        private string $line1, 
        private string $postcode, 
        private string $country) {
    }
}

$this->jsonPost('/users', ['address' => [
    'line1' => '123 Fake St',
    'postcode' => '90210',
    'country' => 'Australia',
]]);

class FormRequest 
{
    public function rules()
    {
        return [
            'address' => ['required', new InstantiateRule(Address::class)]
        ];
    }
}

Or you can specify a custom static contructor if you like...

class FormRequest 
{
    public function rules()
    {
        return [
            'address' => ['required', new InstantiateRule(Address::class, 'createForValidation')]
        ];
    }
}
