Laravel Self-Validating Model

This package contains an extended Eloquent Model class which self-validates against validation rules specified in the Model's rules property when the Model is saved/updated

Works with:

• Laravel 9
• Laravel 8
• Laravel 7
• Laravel 6

Installation

You can install package via composer:

composer require minuteoflaravel/laravel-self-validating-model

How to use

Let's say we have Contact model which extends Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model:

<?php

namespace App\Models;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\HasFactory;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class Contact extends Model
{
    use HasFactory;
}

Instead of extending Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model we should extend MinuteOfLaravel\Validation\SelfValidatingModel:

<?php

namespace App\Models;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\HasFactory;
use MinuteOfLaravel\Validation\SelfValidatingModel as Model;

class Contact extends Model
{
    use HasFactory;
}

Then just add you validation rules to the $rules property:

<?php

namespace App\Models;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\HasFactory;
use MinuteOfLaravel\Validation\SelfValidatingModel as Model;

class Contact extends Model
{
    use HasFactory;
    
    public $rules = [
        'first_name' => 'required',
        'last_name' => 'required',
        'email' => 'required|email:rfc,dns,spoof',
    ];
}

That's it! Model will be validated on save/update.

Custom error messages

If you need to add your custom translatable error message then just add it as always to resources/lang/en/validation.php file.
