FormRequest Validation Example

If you validate the forms using FormRequest, you can simply put your validation code in the view.

You normally define your FormRequest

StoreBlogPostRequest.php

<?php

namespace App\Http\Requests;

use App\Http\Requests\Request;

class StoreBlogPostRequest extends Request
{
    /**
     * Get the validation rules that apply to the request.
     *
     * @return array
     */
    public function rules()
    {
        return [
            'title' => 'required|unique|max:255',
            'body' => 'required',
        ];
    }
}

and in the view you can reference it

post_edit.blade.php

<div class="container">
    <div class="row">
        <div class="col-md-10 col-md-offset-1">
            <form class="form-horizontal" role="form" method="POST" action="" id="my-form">
                <div class="form-group">
                    <label class="col-md-4 control-label">Title</label>
                    <div class="col-md-6">
                        <input type="text" class="form-control" name="title">
                    </div>
                </div>
                <div class="form-group">
                    <label class="col-md-4 control-label">Body</label>
                    <div class="col-md-6">
                        <textarea name="body"></textarea>
                    </div>
                </div>
            </form>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>
