Explanation
-----------

[](#explanation)

If the rules given to a laravel validator are a constant expression, then the shape of the array returned by `\Illuminate\Validation\Validator::validated()` is known at compile-time, and can be statically analyzed.

```
$request = new \Illuminate\Http\Request();

$data = \Illuminate\Support\Facades\Validator::make($request->all(), [
    'person.*.email' => 'required|email|unique:users',
    'person.*.first_name' => 'required|string',
    'person.*.age' => 'required|integer|string',
])->validated();

\PHPStan\dumpType($data);
// array{person: array}

$data = $request->validate([
    'person.*.email' => 'required|email|unique:users',
    'person.*.first_name' => 'required|string',
    'person.*.age' => 'required|integer|string',
]);

\PHPStan\dumpType($data);
// array{person: array}
```

If the input data does not match the rules array, an `\Illuminate\Validation\ValidationException` is thrown, thus preserving type safety.

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

[](#installation)

To use this extension, require it in [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/):

```
composer require --dev jbboehr/phpstan-laravel-validation
```

If you also install [phpstan/extension-installer](https://github.com/phpstan/extension-installer) then you're all set!

### Manual installation

[](#manual-installation)

If you don't want to use `phpstan/extension-installer`, include `extension.neon` in your project's PHPStan config:

```
includes:
    - vendor/jbboehr/phpstan-laravel-validation/extension.neon
```

Caveats
-------

[](#caveats)

- Laravel's validation does not cast anything, so, for example, `numeric` produces the type union `int|float|numeric-string`. If you know it will always be a string, you can refine the type by using `numeric|string` and get a plain `numeric-string`.
- Wildcards must be indexed by integer and can't be mixed with non-wildcard rules.
- Custom validation rules, implicit rules, and enums are not currently supported.
