Laravel 5 Form Requests have a sanitize method ?

What about trying it out yourself?

i have just play with it, i think it sanitize the data that return from it, in the code above, it sanitize all input from the request ! but i can't see where it get invoked ?!

This method sanitize nothing but let you sanitize inputs if you want.

Yes you can modify your input here. The result of the sanitize method is used to make the validator instance.

As you can see by default the whole input is used.

It works like this: <?php namespace Phpleaks\Http\Requests;

use Phpleaks\Http\Requests\Request;

class LinkCreateFormRequest extends Request {

public function authorize()
{
    return true;
}

public function rules()
{

    $this->sanitize();

    return [
      'name' => 'required',
      'url' => 'required|url|unique:links,url',
      'category' => 'required|integer|min:1',
      'description' => 'required|max:300'
    ];
}

public function sanitize()
{
    $input = $this->all();

    if (preg_match("#https?://#", $input['url']) === 0) {
        $input['url'] = 'http://'.$input['url'];
    }

    $input['name'] = filter_var($input['name'], FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING);
    $input['description'] = filter_var($input['description'], 
    FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING);

    $this->replace($input);     
}

}
