How to validate array in Laravel

Question

I try to validate array POST in Laravel:

$validator = Validator::make($request->all(), [
            "name.*" => 'required|distinct|min:3',
            "amount.*" => 'required|integer|min:1',
            "description.*" => "required|string"

        ]);

I send empty POST and get this if ($validator->fails()) {} as False. It means that validation is true, but it is not.

How to validate array in Laravel? When I submit form with input name="name[]"

Hello @kartik,

you can call validate() method directly on Request object like so:

$data = $request->validate([
    "name"    => "required|array|min:3",
    "name.*"  => "required|string|distinct|min:3",
]);

Hope it helps!!
Thank You!!
