\[WIP\] Form Request
====================

[](#wip-form-request)

[![Tests](https://github.com/Anteris-Dev/form-request/actions/workflows/tests.yaml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/Anteris-Dev/form-request/actions/workflows/tests.yaml)[![Style](https://github.com/Anteris-Dev/form-request/actions/workflows/style.yaml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/Anteris-Dev/form-request/actions/workflows/style.yaml)

Inspired by a [Twitter](https://twitter.com/brendt_gd/status/1409808574860214276?s=21) thread, this is a stab at making Form Request data transfer objects. This package is currently WIP.

Creating a Form Request
-----------------------

[](#creating-a-form-request)

To create your request with validation rules, simply extend `AnterisDev\FormRequest\FormRequestData` and add your public properties. To specify the validation rules for a property, pass a string of Laravel validation rules to the `AnterisDev\FormRequest\Attributes\Validation` attribute.

> **Note**: This package intelligently adds rules like "required" when a property is not nullable and handles adding rules for default PHP types such as "string" for properties that are type hinted as a `string`.

For example:

```
use AnterisDev\FormRequest\Attributes\Validation;
use AnterisDev\FormRequest\FormRequestData;

class CreatePersonRequest extends FormRequestData
{
    #[Validation('required', 'string', 'max:255')]
    public string $first_name;

    #[Validation('required|string|max:255')]
    public string $last_name;

    // This property is still required because it is not nullable.
    // This property will also be validated as a string since it has that type.
    #[Validation('max:255')]
    public string $email;
}
```

Then specify this request in your controller method:

```
public function store(CreatePersonRequest $request)
{
    die('Hello ' . $request->first_name . ' ' . $request->last_name);
}
```

\[WIP\] Validation Attributes
-----------------------------

[](#wip-validation-attributes)

To assist with building your validation rules, various attributes are available. These attributes have typed parameters so that it is easy to see their available options.

The following attributes currently exist:

- `Anteris\FormRequest\Attributes\Accepted`
- `Anteris\FormRequest\Attributes\AcceptedIf`
- `Anteris\FormRequest\Attributes\ActiveUrl`

- `Anteris\FormRequest\Attributes\RequiredUnless`
- `Anteris\FormRequest\Attributes\RequiredWith`

- `Anteris\FormRequest\Attributes\Timezone`
- `Anteris\FormRequest\Attributes\Url`
- `Anteris\FormRequest\Attributes\Uuid`

To create your own validation attribute, simply extend `Anteris\FormRequest\Attributes\Rule` and provide the correct output to the `getRules()` method.

### Email Validation

[](#email-validation)

Due to several options available to the Email validator, the Email validation attribute accepts several flags. These are:

- `Email::RfcValidation`
- `Email::NoRfcWarningsValidation`
- `Email::DnsCheckValidation`
- `Email::SpoofCheckValidation`
- `Email:FilterEmailValidation`

By default, the mode is set to `Email::RfcValidation`.

See an example of this usage below:

```
class ContactInformation extends FormRequestData
{
    #[Email]
    public string $email;

    #[Email(Email::DnsCheckValidation | Email::SpoofCheckValidation)]
    public string $email_2;
}
```
