Install ------- [](#install) Use [Composer](https://getcomposer.org) to install the package. ``` composer require spoorsny/laravel-model-validating-observer ``` Usage ----- [](#usage) Add the `\Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Attributes\ObservedBy` attribute to your model, with `\Spoorsny\Laravel\Observers\ValidateModel::class` as its argument. Implement the `\Spoornsy\Laravel\Contracts\SelfValidatingModel` interface within your model by adding a public, static method to your model, named `validationRules()` that returns an associative array with the validation rules and custom messages for your model's attributes. ``` use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Attributes\ObservedBy; use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model; use Spoorsny\Laravel\Contracts\SelfValidatingModel; use Spoorsny\Laravel\Observers\ValidateModel; #[ObservedBy(ValidateModel::class)] class Car extends Model implements SelfValidatingModel { public static function validationRules(): array { return [ 'rules' => [ 'make' => 'required|string', 'model' => 'required|string', ], 'messages' => [ 'make.required' => 'We need to know the make of the car.', ], ]; } } ``` The observer will check each instance of your model against the validation rules during the `saving` event triggered by Eloquent. If validation fails, an `\Illuminate\Validation\ValidationException` will be thrown, preventing the persistence of the invalid model instance.
