Using existing validation rules could ensure that at least 1 or no more than 1 would be received, but there wasn't a succinct way of guaranteeing exactly one. As such, two rules were implemented. The first, `require_exclusive`, ensures that exactly 1 of the inputs will be present. The second, `optional_exclusive`, allows for none of the inputs to be present but if any are present there must be exactly 1. Installation ------------ [](#installation) You can install the package via composer: ``` composer require thedavefulton/laravel-exclusive-validation-rules ``` The package is configured to use Laravel's automatic discovery. However, you can manually register the service provider in the `app/config.php` file: ``` 'providers' => [ // Other Service Providers Thedavefulton\ExclusiveValidationRulesServiceProvider::class, ], ``` Usage ----- [](#usage) These rules may be used like any standard validation rule. ``` $attributes= $request->validate([ 'input1' => 'required_exclusive:input2', 'input2' => 'required_exclusive:input1', ]); $attributes= $request->validate([ 'input1' => 'optional_exclusive:input2', 'input2' => 'optional_exclusive:input1', ]); ``` They can also be extended to n inputs ``` $attributes= $request->validate([ 'input1' => 'required_exclusive:input2,input3,input4', 'input2' => 'required_exclusive:input1,input3,input4', 'input3' => 'required_exclusive:input1,input2,input4', 'input4' => 'required_exclusive:input1,input2,input3', ]); ``` ### Testing [](#testing) ``` composer test ``` ### Changelog [](#changelog) Please see [CHANGELOG](CHANGELOG.md) for more information what has changed recently.
