Laravel Error to inicialice ValidationFactory - php

Question

I'm making my login system, through the LoginController controller, which in turn calls a request called loginRequest [I still have to update some names to Pascal]
My request only has two rules that username and password are required.
Then in a function getCredentials() I capture the username of this and validate that it is an email or not, this to give the user the option to log in both ways.
To identify if the user is actually an email, create a method 'isMail' in which I establish $factory with the content validated through an alias set to Validacion\Factory , ValidationFactory, but when executing the submit button it throws me the error :
Target [Illuminate\contracts\Validation\Factory] is not instantiable.
Could you help me?

I was reading your problem and I found interesting the way you plan to check if the email is there or not.
I know it doesn't answer your question but you could try the following:
In your Request:
public function rules()
{
return [
//
'username'=>'required',
'password'=>'required'
];
}
In your controller:
public function login( loginrequest $request ){
$field = filter_var($request->input('username'), FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL) ? 'email' : 'username';
$request->merge([$field => $request->input('username')]);
//validate credentials
if (!Auth::validate($request->only($field, 'password'))) {
return redirect()->to('login')->withErrors('auth.failed');
}
//create a session
$user = Auth::getProvider()->retrieveByCredentials($request->only($field, 'password'));
Auth::login($user);
return redirect()->to('/');
}
don't forget to configure your web.php file, so that the routes work for you. I hope I've helped.
