How can I correctly set these validation rules?
I have an array coming in where the title has a unique rule set to it, but I'm not sure how to grab that items' id? The id on the route for the parent item, so I need to grab the id from the array element too.
return [
'survey_charts' => 'array|required',
'survey_charts.*.id' => 'sometimes',
'survey_charts.*.title' => 'required|string|unique:survey_charts,title,' + ?,
];
what I ended up doing
$rules = [
'survey_charts' => 'array|required',
'survey_charts.*.id' => 'sometimes'
];
$rules['survey_charts.*'] = Rule::forEach(function ($value, $attribute) {
return [
'title' => 'required|string|unique:survey_charts,title,' . $value['id'],
];
});
return $rules;
