Validation Rule Generator
=========================

[](#validation-rule-generator)

This package will automatically generate laravel validation rules, based on your schema. It can generate rules for:

- All tables in the database
- One (given) table
- One (given) column from a (given) table

Pass in custom rules to override the automatically generated rules.

You can use the results from the ValidationRuleGenerator directly in a validator, or you can copy them from an Artisan command, and manually enter them into your models.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Install the package via Composer. Edit your `composer.json` file to require `kalani/validation-rule-generator`.

```
"require": {
    "laravel/framework": "4.0.*",
    "kalani/validation-rule-generator": "dev-master"
}
```

Next, update Composer from the terminal:

```
composer update

```

Finally, add the service provider to the providers array in `app\config\app.php`:

```
'Kalani\ValidationRuleGenerator\ValidationRuleGeneratorServiceProvider',

```

There is already an alias set up for `ValidationRuleGenerator`, but if you would like to refer to it by a short, memorable name in your app, you can add another alias as follows:

```
'Rules' => 'Kalani\ValidationRuleGenerator\Facades\ValidationRuleGenerator',

```

(We will use ValidationRuleGenerator and Rules interchangeably)

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

#### Artisan Command

[](#artisan-command)

`php artisan make:validation` will generate rules for a given table or model. These rules will be printed in a format that you could copy directly to another php file.

On the command line, you can run the rule generator as follows:

```
php artisan make:validation [--model="..."] [--table="..."] [--all]

```

One of these parameters is required:

```
--all               Output table information for all tables in the database
--table=table_name  Returns rules for the given table
--model=ModelName   Returns rules for the given model (with overrides)

```

If you pass in a `--model` parameter, the rule generator will generate rules for the model's table, and will then merge it with the model's `$rules` array. In cases of a conflict, the `$rules` array will take precedence.

#### Pass directly into validator

[](#pass-directly-into-validator)

Call `ValidationRuleGenerator::getRules($table|$model, $column, $rules, $id)`:

```
* `$table`  The name of the table (or model object) for which to get rules
* `$column` The name of the column
* `$rules`  Custom rules (override automatically generated rules)
* `$id`     Ignore unique rules for the given id

```

All of the parameters are optional. If you do not include any, the package will return an array of all rules in the database. If you include the $table, rules will be gathered from that table; $table and $column, rules will be gathered for the given table/column.

To validate a table:

```
$valid = Validator::make(Input::all(), Rules::getRules($tableName));

```

To validate a table, ignoring a given id:

```
$valid = Validator::make(Input::all(), Rules::getRules($tableName, null, null, $id));

```

### Alternative Usage

[](#alternative-usage)

To get all of the rules for a table, in your controller:

```
$rules = ValidationRuleGenerator::getTableRules($model->getTable(), array($custom_rules));
$validation = Validator::make(Input::all(), $rules);

```

You can also generate rules to ignore the current record id:

```
$rules = ValidationRuleGenerator::getUniqueRules($rules, $id);

```

If you'd like an array of all validation rules for all tables in your database:

```
$rules = ValidationRuleGenerator::getAllRules();

```

If you'd like validation rules for one column:

```
$rules = ValidationRuleGenerator::getColumnRules($table, $column);

```

Development
===========

[](#development)

We are using mysql for database testing because sqlite does not include as many data types. In mysql, create a database, user, and password:

```
CREATE DATABASE test_lrg;
CREATE USER 'test_lrg'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY 'Password1234!';
GRANT ALL ON test_lrg.* TO 'test_lrg'@'localhost';

```
