Extended Laravel Validation
===========================

[](#extended-laravel-validation)

This class extends Laravel Validation package changing some basic functionality to provide validation of data with wildcards. How do wildcrads work:

[![wildcrads](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/cfcd492f34a552a8addd83413228a3c61d2365713fb3907aa6a019eab6eeb40a/68747470733a2f2f662e636c6f75642e6769746875622e636f6d2f6173736574732f3537383435352f3434383331352f63366465376366342d623233652d313165322d393762302d6161303239366339326432322e6a7067)](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/cfcd492f34a552a8addd83413228a3c61d2365713fb3907aa6a019eab6eeb40a/68747470733a2f2f662e636c6f75642e6769746875622e636f6d2f6173736574732f3537383435352f3434383331352f63366465376366342d623233652d313165322d393762302d6161303239366339326432322e6a7067)

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Add following line to your `composer.json` file:

For Laravel 4.x

```
"cohensive/validation": "4.1.*"

```

For Laravel 5.x

```
"cohensive/validation": "5.0.*"

```

Then run `composer install` or `composer update` to download it and autoload.

Once package is installed you need to register it as a service provider. Find `app.php` file in your `config` deirectory. First, since this package extends default Validation, you need to comment out or remove this line from `providers` array: `'Illuminate\Validation\ValidationServiceProvider'`.

Now in the same `providers` array you need to add new package:

```
'providers' => array(

    //...
    'Cohensive\Validation\ValidationServiceProvider',
    //...

)

```

No need to add anything in `aliases`.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Mostly the same as in core Validation. When it comes to validation with wildcrads here's an example:

```
$input = array('input' => array('foo', 'bar', 'baz'));
$rules = array(
    'input:*' => 'Alpha|Min:3'
);

$v = Validator::make($input, $rules);
```

Shall we go deeper?

```
$input = array('users' => array(
    0 => array(
        'name' => 'Mike',
        'age'  =>  30
    ),
    1 => array(
        'name' => 'Rob',
        'age'  => '28'
    )
));

$rules = array(
    'users:*:name' => 'Alpha|Min:3',
    'users:*:age'  => 'Numeric|Min:18|Max:80'
);

$v = Validator::make($input, $rules);
```
