Is it possible to override injected Request from a Laravel Package? - php

Question

I'm building a custom package in Laravel that has a resource Controller. For this example the resource is an Organization In this Controller the basic index, show, store etc actions are defined.
This is my store method in the controller:
/**
* Store a newly created Organization in storage.
*
* #param OrganizationStoreRequest $request
* #return JsonResponse
*/
public function store($request): JsonResponse
{
$newOrganization = new Organization($request->all());
if ($newOrganization->save()) {
return response()->json($newOrganization, 201);
}
return response()->json([
'message' => trans('organilations::organisation.store.error')
], 500);
}
My OrganzationStoreRequest is pretty basic for now:
class OrganizationStoreRequest extends FormRequest
{
public function authorize(): bool
{
return true;
}
public function rules(): array
{
return [
'name' => 'required'
];
}
}
The store method can be called on a API When the package is being used in a Laravel application. My problem here is that I want to give the users of my package the ability to override my OrganizationStoreRequest with there own requests, as they might have to use different authorize or validation methods.
I've tried building a middleware and Binding my own instance to the OrganizationStoreRequests but I'm not getting the results I want.
Is there anyway for the user of the package to be able to override the OrganizationStoreRequets in the controller of my package ?

With the help of fellow developers on Larachat we've come to the following (easy) solution.
When creating an own request we can bind an instance of it to the IoC Container. For example, creating the OrganizationOverrideRule and extending the original:
class OrganizationOverrideRules extends OrganizationStoreRequest
{
public function rules(): array
{
return [
'name' => 'required',
'website' => 'required',
'tradename' => 'required'
];
}
}
Then in the AppServiceProvider you can bind the new instance like so:
App::bind(
OrganizationStoreRequest::class,
OrganizationOverrideRules::class
);
Then the OrganizationOverrideRules will be used for validation and authorization.
