Laravel Validated API Requests
------------------------------

[](#laravel-validated-api-requests)

This package allows you to use Laravel's validators on API requests. This package is intented to be used only on API requests as the same behaviour can be achieved for regular requests using Laravel's `FormRequest`.

### Installation

composer require nickfla1/laravel-validated-api-requests
```

**Requirements**

```
use Nickfla1\Utilities\ApiRequest;

class FooRequest extends ApiRequest
{
    /**
     * Defines if the request should fire an ApiRequestException
     * on validation failure.
     *
     * @var bool
     */
    protected $firesException = true;

    /**
     * Define validation rules.
     *
     * @return array|null
     */
    protected function rules()
    {
        return [
