Example 1: in_array validation laravel
I found a better solution. The validate in_array expects the array to be one of
the parameters in the request. The in: answer will not work if you have
commas in the array. To use the in_array without having to create a new rule
you can simply do: ( Make sure you include the .* at the end )
$this->allslots = array('10:00:00', '10:10:00', '10:20:00', '10:30:00', '10:40:00', '10:50:00', '11:00:00', '11:10:00', '11:20:00', '11:30:00', '11:40:00', '11:50:00', '12:00:00', '12:10:00', '12:20:00', '12:30:00', '12:40:00', '12:50:00', '13:00:00', '13:10:00', '13:20:00', '13:30:00', '13:40:00', '13:50:00', '14:00:00', '14:10:00', '14:20:00', '14:30:00', '14:40:00', '14:50:00', '15:00:00', '15:10:00', '15:20:00', '15:30:00', '15:40:00', '15:50:00', '16:00:00', '16:10:00', '16:20:00', '16:30:00', '16:40:00', '16:50:00');
$request['allslots'] = $this->allslots;
validate($request, [
'field' => 'required|in_array:allslots.*',
]);
Example 2: in_array validation laravel
in:foo,bar,...
The field under validation must be included in the given list of values. Since
this rule often requires you to implode an array, the Rule::in method may be
used to fluently construct the rule:
'field' => 'required|in:' . implode(',', ['value1', 'value2']),
