Step 1: Install Laravel
composer create-project laravel/laravel example-BirthYearRule
Step 2: Create Routes
routes/web.php
<?php
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;
use App\Http\Controllers\CustomValidationController;
/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Web Routes
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| Here is where you can register web routes for your application. These
| routes are loaded by the RouteServiceProvider within a group which
| contains the "web" middleware group. Now create something great!
|
*/
Route::get('custom-validation', [CustomValidationController::class, 'create']);
Route::post('custom-validation', [CustomValidationController::class, 'store'])->name('custom.validation.post');
Step 3: Create Validation Rule
let's run below command and update rule validation file.
php artisan make:rule BirthYearRule
app/Rules/BirthYearRule.php
<?php
namespace App\Rules;
use Closure;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Validation\ValidationRule;
class BirthYearRule implements ValidationRule
{
/**
* Run the validation rule.
*
* @param \Closure(string): \Illuminate\Translation\PotentiallyTranslatedString $fail
*/
public function validate(string $attribute, mixed $value, Closure $fail): void
{
if(!($value >= 1980 && $value <= date('Y'))){
$fail('The :attribute must be between 1980 to '.date('Y').'.');
}
}
}
Step 4: Create Controller
app/Http/Controllers/CustomValidationController.php
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Illuminate\View\View;
use Illuminate\Http\RedirectResponse;
use App\Rules\BirthYearRule;
class CustomValidationController extends Controller
{
/**
* Show the application dashboard.
*
* @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
*/
public function create(): View
{
return view('forms');
}
/**
* Show the application dashboard.
*
* @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
*/
public function store(Request $request): RedirectResponse
{
$validatedData = $request->validate([
'name' => 'required',
'birth_year' => [
'required',
new BirthYearRule()
]
]);
/*
$validatedData['password'] = bcrypt($validatedData['password']);
$user = User::create($validatedData);
*/
return back()->with('success', 'User created successfully.');
}
}
Step 6: Create View File
resources/views/forms.blade.php
