===========================

Quick start
-----------

[](#quick-start)

### Required setup

[](#required-setup)

In the `require` key of `composer.json` file add the following

```
"mauri870/request": "dev-master"

```

Run the Composer update comand

```
$ composer update

```

How to use
----------

[](#how-to-use)

Make your request extends the `Mauri870\Request\Request` class.

```
use Mauri870\Request\Request;

class MyRequest extends Request {
```

Create your rules function with your custom rule:

```
public function rules()
{
  	return [
       	'my-rule' => 'custom'
    ];
}
```

Create a function with the format `validate`, like this:

```
public function validateCustom($attribute, $value, $params)
{
    return $value == 'custom';
}
```

Do not forget to put a message for this new rule. It can be in the `messages` function of the request or in the `validation` of the lang files.

```
public fucnction messages()
{
	return [
    	'custom' => 'My custom message'
	];
}
```

And that is it HAHA! :) Please enjoy!
