Laravel Rules

Alternative way to define rules in laravel., _(*1)

This is just for a more PHP like syntax on rules with laravel. I personally find it easier to read at a glance. Also designed to be used in your own validators., _(*2)

Normal rules in Laravel

    $rules = [
        'username'  => 'required|alphaDash|between:3,100',
        'email'     => 'required|email',
        'password'  => 'required|confirmed|min:5',

        'terms'     => 'accepted',
    ];

Under this new syntax

    $rules = [
        'username'  => Rule::required()->alphaDash()->between(3, 100),
        'email'     => Rule::required()->email(),
        'password'  => Rule::required()->confirmed()->min(5),

        'terms'     => Rule::accepted(),
    ];
