laravel validate array fields

Question

I am trying to validate array field using laravel validate functionality as follow

$this->validate($request,['prodActualQty' => 'required|numeric','actQty[]' => 'required'
],$messages);

my input file is: <input class='form-control' type='text' name='actQty[]'>

It gives error if fields are blank but it still gives error even we fill the fields.

then it doesn't produce any error it means form gets submitted. — Vishal B

What message do you get when you try to submit and there's a value in the required fields? — Frisbetarian-Support Palestine

In Laravel 5.2 you can validate Form array elements using wildcards keyword.

So as per your situation you can either remove [] like below

$this->validate($request->all(), [
    'prodActualQty'     => 'required',
    'actQty'            => 'required'
]);

Or use wildcard operator

$this->validate($request->all(), [
    'prodActualQty'     => 'required',
    'actQty.*'          => 'required'
]);

thanks... i just get it.. but when write message for error it gives all numbers of error equals to input fields. $messages = ['actQty.*.required' => 'Please enter rawmaterial actual quantity'];

For custom message you need to write another argument in validate method. like this $this->validate($request->all(), [ 'prodActualQty' => 'required', 'actQty.*' => 'required' ], [ 'actQty.1' => 'some validation message for actQty.1', 'actQty.2' => 'some validation message for actQty.2', ]);

yeap.. but i dont know about number of array fields are there... so writing actQty.1, actQty.2 will give problems again.
