Laravel's Custom Validation $parameters returning null

Question

I'm creating a custom validation customVal on the input field username. I'm sending other input as a parameter, but the value of the parameter is being received as null.

In my controller I have:

$this->validate(request(),[
  'username' => 'customVal: firstname',
]);

And on app\Providers\AppServiceProviders I'm dumping the first parameter as a test:

public function boot()
{
  \Validator::extend('customVal', function ($attribute, $value, $parameters, $validator)
  {
    dd( Request::get($parameters[0]) ."-". request($parameters[0]) ."-". Input::get($parameters[0]) ."-". $parameters[0] );
    return true;
  });
}

which shows

"--- firstname"

...the value is null, however I can get it's name (firstname). And just to make sure, when I dump this on the controller:

dd( $request->get('firstname') ."-". request('firstname') ."-". Input::get('firstname') ."-". 'firstname' );

I get:

"myname-myname-myname-firstname"

So that's basically it, I can't work on the custom validation because I can't get any values.

And I'm guessing the same happens when I try to use the require_without_all validation. Because it doesn't recognize it's parameters (what I write on the fields)

Remove the space in between : and firstname in your validation array. — Jacob Lambert
