For example, `michaelwuori@gmail.com` and `michael.wuori@gmail.com` both work as valid addresses to the same Gmail account. The period (`.`) modifier can be placed anywhere within your account name, as in the example above. The plus (`+`) modifier can be appended to your account name. Example: `michael.wuori+junk@gmail.com`. This validation rule removes any period modifiers as well as any `+foo` appendages then compares the address to any existing `@gmail.com` emails that exist in the targeted model. Installation ------------ [](#installation) You can install the package via composer: ``` composer require wuori/laravel-unique-gmail-validation ``` The package will automatically register itself. ### Using the UniqueGmail Rule [](#using-the-uniquegmail-rule) Include the rule: ``` ... use Illuminate\Http\Request; use Wuori\UniqueGmail\UniqueGmail; ... ``` Attach the rule to an email field, passing the Model you wish to validate against as the first parameter. If no Model is passed, the rule will default to `\App\Models\User`. ``` // default User model $validator = $request->validate([ 'email' => [new UniqueGmail()] ]); // custom model $validator = $request->validate([ 'email' => [new UniqueGmail(\App\Models\Customers::class)] ]); // combined with other rules $validator = $request->validate([ 'email' => ['required','email','unique:users,email,NULL,id', new UniqueGmail(\App\Models\User::class)] ]); ``` This validation rule will pass if the id of the logged in user matches the `user_id` on `TestModel` who's it is in the `model_id` key of the request. ### Custom Error Message [](#custom-error-message) By default the `UniqueGmail` rule will use Laravel's built-in `unique` validation message (`trans('validation.unique')`). You can supply your own message as an entry to the second parameter, `$options`: ``` $options = [ 'message' => 'An account already exists for :existing_email, a varient of :requested_email.' ]; $validator = $request->validate([ 'email' => [new UniqueGmail(\App\Models\User::class, $options)] ]); ``` The custom message accepts two optional attributes to replace: `:existing_email` is replaced with the matching (existing) email address. `:requested_email` is replaced with the email address provided in the request. ### Testing [](#testing) Coming soon... ``` composer test ``` ### Changelog [](#changelog) Please see [CHANGELOG](CHANGELOG.md) for more information on what has changed recently. ### Security [](#security) If you discover any security related issues, please email instead of using the issue tracker.
