laravel array key validation rule

Question

I want to validate a requested array which it's like :

  "accountType": {
    "admin" : true,
    "advertiser": true,
    "publisher": true,
    "agency": true
  },

I want to check if admin is true, do nothing and pass, but if admin is false and others are true or there is no admin in accountType object validation throw error like : invalid account type.

In Another word I want to check if there is admin in request array pass the validation, if not and there are other types shows error, also vise versa.

This is my validation but It just pass anyway:

 $validator = Validator::make($this->request->all(), [
            'accountType.admin' => 'boolean:true',
            'accountType.advertiser' => 'boolean:false',
            'accountType.publisher' => 'boolean:false',
            'accountType.agency' => 'boolean:false',
        ]);

The boolean validation rule doesn't accept parameters.

Try

$validator = Validator::make($this->request->all(), [
            'accountType.admin' => 'required|boolean:true',
            'accountType.advertiser' => 'boolean:false',
            'accountType.publisher' => 'boolean:false',
            'accountType.agency' => 'boolean:false',
        ]);

Not working, It passed all attributes. I mean advertiser and other roles will pass, I want to throw error for other roles if they are true

Should do the trick, from the documentation: he field under validation must be able to be cast as a boolean. Accepted input are true, false, 1, 0, "1", and "0".

$validator = Validator::make($this->request->all(), [
    'accountType.admin' => 'boolean',
    'accountType.advertiser' => 'boolean',
    'accountType.publisher' => 'boolean',
    'accountType.agency' => 'boolean',
]);

You didn't read the question entirely ? I wan it to throw error if any other role except admin is set and their value is true give me error , this way it just pass validation.

Your right, apologies, if your making admin only why not use middleware?

Don't mention it, this validation is for updating users role. I said in my question it need it sometime to check if only admin is true , and vise versa if it contains admin throw error. but my problem is it dose not check,it just pass if it's true or false.

I think you might have to make a custom validation rule cant work out any other way

Mohammad_Hosseini Over a year ago

I agree, I was trying to create one.

You could change your values to 1 for true and 0 for false then validate like:

$validator = Validator::make($this->request->all(), [
    'accountType.admin' => 'required|min:1',
    'accountType.advertiser' => 'required|min:1',
    'accountType.publisher' => 'required|min:1',
    'accountType.agency' => 'required|min:1',
]);
