Laravel 10 Custom Validation Rule Example
Hey Artisan,
I am going to show you an example of laravel 10 custom validation rule example. if you want to see an example of how to create custom validation rule in laravel 10 then you are in the right place. This article goes in detailed on add custom validation rule in laravel 10. I would like to show you create custom validation rule in laravel 10. So, let us see in detail an example.
Laravel provides default validation rules such as email, required, unique, date, and more. If you need to create a custom validation rule in Laravel, I can guide you through the steps.
this example, we will create a custom validation rule called BirthYearRule. We will add an input text box for birth_year and validate that the user enters a year between 1980 and the current year using our custom validation.
So, let's see the step by step validation:
Step 1: Install Laravel
This step is not required; however, if you have not created the laravel app, then you may go ahead and execute the below command:
composer create-project laravel/laravel example-app
Step 2: Create Routes
In this step, we will create two routes GET and POST for custom validation rule example. so let's add it.
routes/web.php
<?php
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;
use App\Http\Controllers\CustomValidationController;
/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Web Routes
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| Here is where you can register web routes for your application. These
| routes are loaded by the RouteServiceProvider within a group which
| contains the "web" middleware group. Now create something great!
|
*/
Route::get('custom-validation', [CustomValidationController::class, 'create']);
Route::post('custom-validation', [CustomValidationController::class, 'store'])->name('custom.validation.post');
Step 3: Create Validation Rule
In this step, we will create new "BirthYearRule" validation rule that will check user enter valid year. so let's run below command and update rule validation file.
php artisan make:rule BirthYearRule
app/Rules/BirthYearRule.php
<?php
namespace App\Rules;
use Closure;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Validation\ValidationRule;
class BirthYearRule implements ValidationRule
{
/**
* Run the validation rule.
*
* @param \Closure(string): \Illuminate\Translation\PotentiallyTranslatedString $fail
*/
public function validate(string $attribute, mixed $value, Closure $fail): void
{
if(!($value >= 1980 && $value <= date('Y'))){
$fail('The :attribute must be between 1980 to '.date('Y').'.');
}
}
}
Step 4: Create Controller
In this step, we have to create new controller as CustomValidationController and we have also need to add two methods create() and store() on that controller. We will use BirthYearRule validation on store method. so let's update follow code:
app/Http/Controllers/CustomValidationController.php
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Illuminate\View\View;
use Illuminate\Http\RedirectResponse;
use App\Rules\BirthYearRule;
class CustomValidationController extends Controller
{
/**
* Show the application dashboard.
*
* @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
*/
public function create(): View
{
return view('forms');
}
/**
* Show the application dashboard.
*
* @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
*/
public function store(Request $request): RedirectResponse
{
$validatedData = $request->validate([
'name' => 'required',
'birth_year' => [
'required',
new BirthYearRule()
]
]);
/*
$validatedData['password'] = bcrypt($validatedData['password']);
$user = User::create($validatedData);
*/
return back()->with('success', 'User created successfully.');
}
}
Step 6: Create View File
In Last step, let's create forms.blade.php(resources/views/forms.blade.php) for create form and put following code:
resources/views/forms.blade.php
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>

@endif
