Installation ------------ [](#installation) ``` composer require sourcetoad/rule-helper-for-laravel ``` Usage ----- [](#usage) ### RuleSet [](#ruleset) The `RuleSet` class provides a fluent interface for defining sets of rules. #### Basic usage [](#basic-usage) ``` use App\Rules\CustomRule; use Illuminate\Foundation\Http\FormRequest; use Illuminate\Validation\Rules\Unique; use Sourcetoad\RuleHelper\RuleSet; class CreateBlogRequest extends FormRequest { public function rules(): array { return [ 'title' => RuleSet::create() ->required() ->unique('posts', 'title', fn(Unique $rule) => $rule->withoutTrashed()) ->rule(new CustomRule) ->max(255), 'body' => RuleSet::create() ->required(), ]; } } ``` ### Rule [](#rule) The `Rule` class provides the same methods as the Laravel `\Illuminate\Validation\Rule` class, with the rest of the built-in rules exposed via static methods. #### Basic usage [](#basic-usage-1) ``` use Illuminate\Foundation\Http\FormRequest; use Sourcetoad\RuleHelper\Rule; class CreateBlogRequest extends FormRequest { public function rules(): array { return [ 'title' => [ Rule::required(), Rule::unique('posts'), Rule::max(255), ], 'body' => [ Rule::required(), ], ]; } } ``` ### Additional helpers [](#additional-helpers) #### Defined rule sets [](#defined-rule-sets) The `RuleSet` class contains methods to define and reuse rule sets across the project. To define a rule set call `RuleSet::define` in your app service provider's boot method. ``` public function boot(): void { RuleSet::define('existing_email', RuleSet::create()->email()->exists('users')); } ``` The defined set can then be used in rules using `RuleSet::useDefined`. ``` public function rules(): array { return [ 'to' => RuleSet::useDefined('existing_email')->required(), 'bcc' => RuleSet::useDefined('existing_email'), ]; } ``` To concatenate a defined rule set you can call concatDefined with the rule set's name. ``` RuleSet::create()->required()->concatDefined('existing_email'); ``` #### requiredIfAll [](#requiredifall) Accepts multiple `RequiredIf` rules and only marks as required if all return true. #### requiredIfAny [](#requiredifany) Accepts multiple `RequiredIf` rules and marks as required if any return true.
