Hello everyone.
Is it possible in Laravel to apply the same validation rule to multiple fields? For example, I have a form in witch I need to fill two persons name, bride_first_name and groom_first_name. There is any method to validate these two fields with one single rule?
Right now I am writing something like this
'bride_first_name' => 'required|max:255',
'groom_first_name' => 'required|max:255'
Can I write something like ['bride_first_name', 'groom_first_name'] => 'required|max:255' or I don't know, something similar?
I want to write this validation in one single line.
Hi Bogdan,
At the moment there's no way to write it like that. You could wrap the rules in a variable so you don't need to edit it twice.
$nameRules = 'required|max:255';
$rules = [
'bride_first_name' => $nameRules,
'groom_first_name' => $nameRules,
];
Or you could create a custom rule that says 'required_and_max_255' if you need this combination a lot.
Thank you very much guys for your answers. I'll go with a custom validation rule for this.
