@sr57 do you have code example thanks.
What's not clear in the doc examples (cf links in my answer)?
@fahadsheikh303 try this way...
public function username()
{
$field = (filter_var(request()->email, FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL) || !request()->email) ? 'email' : 'username';
if($field != 'email')
$field = is_numeric(request()->email) ? 'matricule' : 'username';
request()->merge([$field => request()->email]);
return $field;
}
@folium i think its not validating before insert into the database. i am just checking unique validation.
