Validator question

class MeetController extends Controller 
{
    public function store() 
    {
        $v = Validator::make(request()->all(), Meets::rules());

        if($v->fails()) {
            #return error
	}
	
	#continue
    }
}

-------------

class Meets 
{
    public static function rules()
    {
        return [
            'date_type'      => 'required|numeric|in:1,2,3',
            'meal_times'     => (request('date_type') == 1) ? 'required|numeric|in:1,2,3,4,5' : '',
        ];
    }
}

Api 驗證設計這樣好嗎?

try this:

class MeetController extends Controller 
{
    public function store(MeetRequest $request) 
    {
       #do something.
    }
}

Your validation must to keep in request your application service before.
so, you do request follow:

class MeetRequest extends Request
{
    /**
     * Determine if the user is authorized to make this request.
     *
     * @return bool
     */
    public function authorize()
    {
        return true;
    }
    /**
     * Get the validation rules that apply to the request.
     *
     * @return array
     */
    public function rules()
    {
        $meal_times = ($this->request->get('date_type') == 1)? 'required|numeric|in:1,2,3,4,5' : '';

        return [
            'date_type'      => 'required|numeric|in:1,2,3',
            'meal_times'     => $meal_times,
        ];
    }
    //Also, you can replace method response to custom your response if you need.
   public function response(array $errors)
   {
       //do something
   }
}
