This package provides a simple way to validate form input. At it's heart it is a thin wrapper around the Rakit Validation library. For documentation on the types of rules you can use refer to their (Github docs)[https://github.com/rakit/validation.
Once installed, register the Service Provider in config/app.php:
'providers' => [ ... Rareloop\Lumberjack\Validation\ValidationServiceProvider::class, ... ],You can now create Form objects that can be used to validate for your form submissions:
class ContactForm extends AbstractForm { protected $rules = [ 'name' => 'required', 'email' => 'required|email' ]; }Your form can be injected into your Lumberjack Controllers and then used this this:
use App\Forms\ContactForm; class IndexController { public function handle(ContactForm $form) { if ($form->validate($_POST)) { // Everything's good - do something with the input } else { $errors = $form->errors(); $values = $form->values(); // Re-show the form with the errors and entered values } } }
