condition in laravel validation - php

Question

Please help me, I'm trying to validate each row of the row that was highlighted with red in the form using the validate([]). If a user filled one of the columns in a row, and try to submit it with the other fields left unfilled, then it will prompt the user that the remaining fields are required to be filled. I have come up with various conditions but sadly none on them worked out,
this is my store function
public function store(Request $request){
$currentStatus = 0;
$data = $request->validate([
'to' => 'required',
'date' => 'date',
'address' => 'required',
'reference' => 'required',
'attention' => 'required',
'area' => 'required',
'project' => 'required',
'salesman' => 'required',
'location' => 'required'
]);
\App\Contract::create($data + ['status' => $currentStatus]);
return redirect('contracts/pendings');

Answer 1

first u need to create a FormRequest php artisan make:request MyControllerNameRequest
Then in MyControllerNameRequest define your rules
public function rules(): array
{
return [
'firstField' => ['required', 'int'],
'secondField' => ['required', 'int'],
'thirdFied' => ['required', 'int'],
'fourthField' => ['required', 'int'],
];
}
after go in to your controller and add MyControllerNameRequest like attribute in action
public function store(MyControllerNameRequest $request)
{
$model = Model::create($request->validated());
return redirect()->route('route.name');
}
or in some_name.blade.php add required
<input type="text" name="name" value="{{ old('value') }}" required>

Answer 2

I'm assuming that the names in HTML look like this:
<form method="post" action="{{ route('test') }}">
#csrf
<input type="text" name="data[0][quantity]">
<input type="text" name="data[0][unit]">
<input type="text" name="data[1][quantity]">
<input type="text" name="data[1][unit]">
<input type="submit">
</form>
You could try something like this in your controller.
$this->validate($request, [
'data.*.quantity' => 'sometimes|required_with:data.*.unit',
'data.*.unit' => 'sometimes|required_with:data.*.quantity',
]);
The required_with params accept multiples fields separated per comma, so you may have to pass all your fields in the validation. The sometimes validates only when it's passed values, so this may do the trick.
