Lumen doesn't have any `FormRequest` class like Laravel. This will let you do that. ### Installation [](#installation) 1. Install the package by running `composer require anik/form-request` from your terminal being in the project directory. 2. Register `\Anik\Form\FormRequestServiceProvider::class` to your `bootstrap/app.php` as a provider. ``` // bootstrap/app.php $app->register(\Anik\Form\FormRequestServiceProvider::class); ``` ### How to use? [](#how-to-use) - Create a class that extends `Anik\Form\FormRequest` class. - You must override `rules` method of the `Anik\Form\FormRequest` class. Define your validation rules in it. Must return an **array**. - You can define validation **messages** by overriding `messages` method. Default is `[]`. - You can define custom pretty **attribute** names by overriding `attributes` method. Default is `[]`. - You can override `authorize` method to define the authorization logic if the client is authorized to submit the form. Must return a boolean value. Default is `true`. When returning `false`, it'll raise `\Illuminate\Auth\Access\AuthorizationException` exception. - If the validation fails, it will throw `Illuminate\Validation\ValidationException`. - By default, it returns response in `{"message": "The given data was invalid.", "errors": []}` format with status code `422`. Handle the exception in `app/Exceptions/Handler.php`'s `render` method if you want to modify the response. - Override the `statusCode` method to return the status of your choice. Must return `int`. Default is `422`. - Override the `errorMessage` method to return the message of your choice. Must return `string`. Default is `The given data was invalid.` - Override the `errorResponse` method to return response of your choice when the validation fails. Must return either of type `\Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response` or `null`. - Now you can inject your **Request** class through the method injections. All the methods of `Laravel\Lumen\Http\Request` class is available in your request class. - The `FormRequest::validated()` method will return the validated data when the validation passes. ### Health Score 46 — FairBetter than 93% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity49 Moderate usage in the ecosystem Community20 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity76 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 96.7% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
