Form Request Validation: Creating Form Requests

Creating Form Requests

Creating Form Requests — Are custom request classes that contain validation logic. 

Php artisan make:request StoreBlogPost
/**
 * Get the validation rules that apply to the request.
 *
 * @return array
 */
public function rules()
{
    return [
        'title' => 'required|unique:posts|max:255',
        'body' => 'required',
    ];
}
/**
 * Store the incoming blog post.
 *
 * @param  StoreBlogPost  $request
 * @return Response
 */
public function store(StoreBlogPost $request)
{
    // The incoming request is valid...

    // Retrieve the validated input data...
    $validated = $request->validated();
}

The incoming form request is validated before the controller method is called, meaning you do not need to clutter your controller with any validation logic.
