Inside rules, if current route is fast form, mark as nullable. Else require it.
//...
'password' => ( request()->route()->getName() === 'user.store.fast'
? ['nullable']
: ['required'] ),
//...

Laravel rules issues
Hi all,
I have 2 very identical forms and would like to use the same rules in a request. My request file currently has:
// \App\Http\Requests\UserStoreRequest
public function rules()
{
return [
'first_name' => ['required', 'max:255', 'string'],
'last_name' => ['required', 'max:255', 'string'],
'email' => ['required', 'unique:users,email', 'email'],
'password' => ['required'],
'business_name' => ['nullable', 'max:255', 'string'],
'roles' => 'array',
];
}
I have 2 store methods, one of them for a full form and the other for a fast filling of the same form. The only difference is that the fast form needs to auto generate a password. I was hoping to use the same request file(with rules) for both forms by bypassing the password with a "nullable" rule. To my surprise, the password is still required. Any idea how to bypass the password policy from "UserStoreRequest"?
public function storeFast(UserStoreRequest $request)
{
$validated = Validator::make(array_merge($request->all(), $request->route()->parameters()), [
'password' => 'string|max:64',
]);
$validated['password'] = Hash::make(str_random(12));
$validated = $request->validated();
Thanks

@Niush Thank you so much. I did not think about this. I am not managing to get it to work at the moment as I am getting a 302 error but I will keep playing with it as your solution seems the most logical one.

@Niush I tried this:
'password' => ( request()->route()->getName() === 'user.store.fast'
? ['nullable']
: ['required'] ),
But the validation does not pass. The right controller and method is hit:
Method POST
Controller Action App\Http\Controllers\UserController@storeFast
Middleware web, auth
Path /users/store/fast
Status 302
Duration 282 ms
IP Address 127.0.0.1
Memory usage 22 MB
I get no errors whatesoever, the form just reloads, as soon as I replace your code with the ['required'] I get the required error but can pass the validation if I input a password. So there is something wrong.
I also logged "request()->route()->getName()" and correctly receive 'user.store.fast'

@User476820 If there is no error response, then it is working I guess. May be the controller is reached, and is redirecting back or doing something?

@Niush If I put your code I never reach the controller (var_dump() at the request level), when I remove it, the controller kicks in and the data is saved. Still trying to figure out why.

@Niush It has to be something in my code, thank you so much!
