Level 4
Any idea? I still haven't found anything convenient... Seems like common use case though.
Be part of JetBrains PHPverse 2026 on June 9 – a free online event bringing PHP devs worldwide together.
When validating update request for a model, I often use form request and access object being update like $this->route('attribute');
So validating unique attribute looks like this:
public function rules()
{
return [
'name' => 'required|string|unique:attributes,name,' . $this->attribute()->id . ',id'
];
}
protected function attribute(): Attribute
{
return $this->route('attribute');
}
but what if I need to validate nested array values (for relationship for example):
public function rules()
{
return [
'name' => 'required|string|unique:attributes,name,' . $this->attribute()->id . ',id' ,
'values' => 'array',
'values.*.id' => 'required|numeric|unique:values,id,' . $id_being_validated . ',id'
];
}
How do I get $id_being_validated?
Thank you for your help!
