[](#-usage)

To validate the input of our console commands, we can use the `ValidatesInput` trait and define the validation rules for our arguments and options in the `rules()` method:

```
use Illuminate\Console\Command;
use Cerbero\CommandValidator\ValidatesInput;

class SampleCommand extends Command
{
    use ValidatesInput;

    protected function rules(): array
    {
        return [
            'some_argument' => 'integer|digits:4|min:2000',
            'some_option' => 'string|max:2',
        ];
    }
}
```

The available rules are the same [validation rules provided by Laravel](https://laravel.com/docs/validation#available-validation-rules). If we need custom validation, here is how we can [define custom rules in Laravel](https://laravel.com/docs/validation#custom-validation-rules).

Sometimes we may need to show custom messages or attributes for some validation errors. We can achieve that by overriding the methods `messages()` and `attributes()`:

```
protected function messages(): array
{
    return [
        'min' => 'The minimum allowed :attribute is :min',
    ];
}

protected function attributes(): array
{
    return [
        'year' => 'year of birth',
    ];
}
```
