How to Write Validation Rules with Resource in Laravel

When developing applications with Laravel, creating resource routes can streamline your API development. However, you may encounter challenges when implementing validation for these routes, particularly when you want the route parameters (like IDs) to be validated in your custom request classes. In this guide, we'll dive into how to set up proper validation rules for resource routes in Laravel, using a concrete example with the DestroyProductRequest class.

Understanding the Problem

In the given scenario, you are using Laravel 8 to set up resource routes for products. You've implemented a destroy method in a controller that allows you to delete a product by its ID. However, you're facing an issue where the validation for the id field fails, leading to an error response that states: id: ["The id field is required."]. The root of the problem is that, by default, Laravel does not validate route parameters directly.

Example Structure

Here's an overview of what your code currently looks like:

Route definition in api.php:

As it stands, Laravel is not able to find the id field in your request. Let's look at how to fix this issue effectively.

Solution: Implementing Proper Validation Rules

To achieve proper validation for your resource route, the key is to modify the rules() method and add custom validation logic to include route parameters. Here's a step-by-step breakdown of how to do this:

Step 1: Update the Validation Rules

Instead of validating the id field directly, you'll want to validate the product parameter that Laravel automatically maps when you define a resource route. Update your rules() function as follows:

Step 2: Merge Route Parameters in Validation Data

Since Laravel does not auto-validate the route parameters by default, you need to merge the route parameters with the request data. To do this, override the validationData() method in your DestroyProductRequest class:

Summary of Changes

Putting it all together, your DestroyProductRequest class should look like this:

Wrap-Up

In summary, properly validating route parameters in Laravel requires a bit more setup than validating standard request data. By following the steps outlined above, you can ensure the DestroyProductRequest properly validates the incoming product ID and handles requests gracefully.

Now, you can try deleting a product again, and it should pass the validation successfully. This approach not only helps you avoid unnecessary errors but also enhances the integrity of your application's API.
