Root Array Validation

@Sinnbeck Because the data is a list of items.

@binarymelon and the request comes from an external server or? Sending data without a key is a really bad idea in general so if it's you own code, you should just give it a key

Anyways. What you can probably do is something like this

$data = request()->except(['_token']); //add any you want to exclude
$validator = Validator::make($data, [
            '*' => 'required|max:255',
        ]);
 
        if ($validator->fails()) {
            return redirect('post/create')
                        ->withErrors($validator)
                        ->withInput();
        }

@Sinnbeck Not really interested in modifying the contract here. just want to know of if Laravel will support this scenario.

@binarymelon as far as I know only by creating a manual Validator. It's the same as putting mixed stuff into $_GET or $_POST and try to get only numeric keys out for validation. If you can give a working example, I might be able to give a better answer
