Imagine that you need to define a validation rule which specifies that the provided email address must be unique on the users table, limited to the email column, where the person's active status is set to true
, but excluding the current user's email address. As you may know, traditionally, we must provide a comma separated list within a string for all of these parameters. It's pretty rough! But not anymore. Now, in Laravel 5.3, you can use the useful Rule
class to fluently build up these constraints.
