Laravels Form Request Validation for JSON Schema documents

Installation

 composer require webtoolsnz/laravel-json-schema-request

Usage

The development experience is identical to Laravel's Form Request Validation, except instead of writing Laravel validation rules, you write a JSON Schema.

You can create a new request using the make:json-request command

artisan make:json-request MyJsonRequest

You will now have new request class App\Http\Requests\MyJsonRequest, Below you can see a basic example schema.

<?php

namespace App\Http\Requests;

use Webtools\JsonSchemaRequest\JsonSchemaRequest;

class MyJsonRequest extends JsonSchemaRequest
{
    public function schema(): array
    {
        return [
            'type' => 'object',
            'properties' => [
                'first_name' => ['type' => 'string'],
                'last_name' => ['type' => 'string'],
                'email' => ['type' => 'string', 'format' => 'email'],
            ],
            'required' => ['first_name', 'last_name', 'email'],
            'additionalProperties' => false,
        ];
    }
}

Once you have a JsonSchemaRequest object, all you need to do is type-hint the request on your controller method. The incoming form request is validated before the controller method is called.

public function store(MyJsonRequest $request)
{
    // The incoming request is valid...

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