Get model instance in custom request Laravel - php

Question

I have a models with custom rules of validation, In every model I have variable $rules:
public static $rules = [...];
https://medium.com/#konafets/a-better-place-for-your-validation-rules-in-laravel-f5e3f5b7cc
I want use these rules in custom request:
<?php
namespace App\Http\Requests;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Http\FormRequest;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Auth;
class ModelRequest extends FormRequest
{
/**
* Determine if the user is authorized to make this request.
*
* #return bool
*/
public function authorize()
{
return Auth::check() ? true : false;
}
/**
* Get the validation rules that apply to the request.
*
* #return array
*/
public function rules()
{
return static::$rules;
}
}
I get error:
Access to undeclared static property: App\Http\Requests\ModelRequest::$rules
In controller:
public function store(ModelRequest $request)
{
...
}
This is globally. I need get instance of model, but how?

Answer 1

If you've put the $rules variable in your model you can't access it like this, because static refers to the class you are currently in.
Try this out:
Notice: I assume that your models are under the App name space
// In your model class
class YourModel extends Model{
const RULES=[];
}
//Then in your request class
class ModelRequest extends FormRequest
{
public function rules()
{
return App\YourModel::RULES;
}
}
