README

This package provides validation utilities for Laravel. The utilities are intended to be generic and expandable, allowing the same set of validation rules to be reused between different systems.

Installation

Add the package using the composer command line interface:

composer require vector88/laravel-validation

Add the service provider to config/app.php:

[
	...

	'providers' => [
		...,
		Vector88\Laravel\Validation\ValidationServiceProvider::class,
		...,
	],

	'aliases' => [
		...,
		'Validation' => Vector88\Laravel\Validation\Facades\Validation::class,
		...,
	],

	...

]

Example

App/Http/routes.php

Route::get('/laravel', 'ValidationController@laravel' );
Route::get('/angular', 'ValidationController@angular' );
Route::get('/validator', 'ValidationController@validator' );
