Laravel 5.4 - Validation - Unique Rule

Laravel 5.2 - Validation - Unique Rule <- similar formatting to what you are using

its in the validation docs for the unique rule - "Forcing A Unique Rule To Ignore A Given ID"

Thanks for answer! If found that similar rule works ok when I need "=" in sql statement

required|unique:department,name,null,department_id,department_id,1

and I have sql :

select count(*) as aggregate from `jsn_department` where `name` = 'Department_111222' and `department_id` = '1'

But I failed to set condition with "!=" : Setting rule as :

required|unique:department,name,null,department_id,department_id!=,1

I got error:

Unknown column 'department_id!=' in 'where clause' (SQL: select count(*) as aggregate from `jsn_department` where `name` = Department_111222 and `department_id!=` = 1)

As I see "department_id!=" is wrapped with "`" char and "=" is set anyway...

Which is the right syntax ?
