Strict Types Form Request Validation
====================================

[](#strict-types-form-request-validation)

Ensures incoming form request data is of a certain datatype.

---

### About

[](#about)

While Lumen includes many useful validation rules out of the box, [it lacks the ability to validate *data type* as well as *content type*](https://laravel.com/docs/9.x/validation#rule-integer). There have been a [couple](https://github.com/laravel/framework/issues/18918)[complaints](https://github.com/laravel/ideas/issues/1719) about this over the years, but due to the versatile nature of Laravel, it doesn't seem likely that validation rules such as `integer` or `boolean` will begin validating that the data is actually of the desired type.

This package provides a way for you to require the incoming data to be of a given type, such as `int`, `bool`, `float`, etc.

---

Installation
============

[](#installation)

### Pre Requisites

[](#pre-requisites)

1. Lumen v8+
2. PHP 7.4+

### Install with Composer

[](#install-with-composer)

```
composer require trueifnotfalse/lumen-strict-types-validation
```

Add to `bootstrap/app.php` and register the Service Provider.

```
    $app->register(TrueIfNotFalse\LumenStrictValidation\Providers\StrictValidationProvider::class);
```

Usage
=====

[](#usage)

When constructing validation rules, simply add `type-` to the validation rules string/array.

```
$rules = [
    'id' => 'required|type-int', # This will require the incoming `id` to be an integer.
];

```

### Failure Messages

[](#failure-messages)

The failure message format is:

```
The :attribute must be of type :type

```

Where `attribute` is the attribute being validated (`id` from the above example) and `type` is the desired type to validate against (`int` in the above example).

If the above example failed, we would receive this message:

```
The id must be of type int

```
