How to validate request in json objects - using laravel - php

Question

My json has two objects one is user_profile and other one is privileges but my validation is working only on user_profile object.
My json:
{
"user_profile": {
"email": "shahzad11#ovadamd.com",
"password": "admin123",
"password_confirmation": "admin123",
"status": 0,
"first_name": "Shahzad",
"middle_name": "Hussain",
"last_name": "Shah",
"date_of_birth": "2015-01-01",
"gender": "M",
"area_id": 1,
"address": "Minhatten NY",
"city": "New York",
"state": "Washington",
"zip": "12312",
"fax": "111-111-1111",
"phone_extension": "2471",
"work_phone": "111-111-1111",
"phone_no": "111-111-1111",
"emergency_contact": "111-111-1111",
"social_security": "111-11-1111",
"module_id": 2
},
"privileges": {
"is_super_admin": 1,
"facilities": [
{
"facility_id": 1,
"is_facility_supervisor": 0,
"speciality_id": 1,
"priv_id": "",
"role_id": 1
}
]
}
}
I want to validate my "privileges" object as well.
My controller:
public function register(Request $request) {
$body = $request->all();
$userProfile = $body['user_profile'];
$userPrev = $body['privileges'];
$userProfile['is_super_admin'] = $userPrev['is_super_admin'];
$facilities = $userPrev['facilities'];
$bodyObj = array_merge($userProfile, $userPrev);
$validator = UserValidations::validateUser($bodyObj);
if ($validator->fails()) {
return response([
'status' => false,
'message' => __('messages.validation_errors'),
'errors' => $validator->errors()->all()
], 200);
}
and my validateUser method:
public static function validateUser($data = [], $update = false) {
$rules = [
'first_name' => 'required|max:25',
'last_name' => 'required|max:25',
"address" => 'required|max:197',
"city" => 'required|max:20',
"zip" => 'required|max:5',
"phone_no" => 'required|max:12',
"area_id" => 'exists:areas,id',
"phone_extension" => 'min:3|max:5',
'gender' => 'in:M,F,X',
"work_phone" => 'max:12',
"emergency_contact" => 'max:12',
"fax" => "max:12",
"social_security" => 'required|max:11',
"module_id" => 'exists:modules,id',
// privileges object fields
"role_id" => 'required|exists:roles,id',
"facility_id" => 'required',
"speciality_id" => 'required'
];
if($update) {
$rules['id'] = 'required|exists:users,id';
} else {
$rules['email'] = 'required|email|unique:users';
$rules['password'] = 'required|min:6';
$rules['password_confirmation'] = 'required_with:password|min:6|same:password';
}
return $validator = Validator::make($data, $rules);
}
How i can put validation on privileges object?
Your help will be highly appreciated!

Answer 1

// privileges object fields
"facilities.*.role_id" => 'required|exists:roles,id',
"facilities.*.facility_id" => 'required',
"facilities.*.speciality_id" => 'required'
I think it will solve your problem

Answer 2

you can do this
Validator::make($request->all(),[
'your rules'])
