Custom validation - square_image

Hi Everyone,

My task is to upload images to a server and I have a custom rule - every image should be squared. The user allowed to upload 200x200, 800x800 like images but not allowed to upload a 450x320 image. I'd like to create a square_image validator but can't figure out what is the best approach to do it.

I'd like to use it in my controller like this:

$this->validate($request, [
        'file' => 'required|square_image|mimes:jpg,jpeg,wav'
]);

Found the solution:

in AppServiceProvider boot() method:

Validator::extend('square_image', function($attribute, $photo, $parameters){
        list($width, $height) = getimagesize($photo);
        return ($width == $height);
});
