You can control the data which gets validated by adding validationData method., (*7)
/**
* Validation data to be validated.
*
* @return array
*/
public function validationData(array $data)
{
// Here $data is the value of $this->getAttributes(), feel free to use your own code to produce the data. Ex: $this->toArray(), $this->getOriginal(), etc.,
$data["name"] = strtolower($data["name"]);
// Note: This wouldn't affect your actual model data which is going to persist in DB.
return $data;
}
Other options
You could mention the validation rules, attributes and messages as a property as well as method., (*8)
/**
* Validation rules to validate.
*
* @return array
*/
public function validationRules()
{
// You can process your code here and return the rules as however you want.
return [
'name' => 'required|max:10',
'email' => 'required|email',
];
}
/**
* Custom messages to replace the validation messages.
*
* @return array
*/
public function validationMessages()
{
// You can process your code here and return the messages as however you want.
return [
'name.required' => 'Name field is required.',
'email.email' => 'The given email is in invalid format.',
];
}
/**
* Custom attribute names to replace the validation attribute name.
*
* @return array
*/
public function validationAttributes()
{
return [
'name' => 'User Name'
];
}
You could mention the validation only for creating itself or on any model event just add $model->validate()., (*9)
/**
* Boot method.
*/
public static function boot()
{
parent::boot();
// You can mention like this for validating the model on custom events as your wish
self::creating(function($model){
$model->validate();
});
// Or you can make use of the alias `self::validateOnCreating()`.
