Laravel "in" validator

Question

Documentation way

$values = ['one', 'two', 'three'];
\Validator::make($input, ['value' => 'in:one,two,three']);

Can I set in options with array? Now I use it like that, and I don't like it

\Validator::make($input, ['value' => 'in:' . implode(',', $values)]);

• dotty: did you try ['value' => ['in' => $values]]; ?
• ncs: yes, Method [validateEasy] does not exist.

Answer 1

I don't think there's another way than using implode like you do now. Not even with a custom validation rule. The essential problem with a syntax like this

['value' => ['in' => $values]];

is that Laravel just ignores the 'in' key and thinks $values are a set of validation rules.

Is there a reason why using implode is a problem? (other than you don't liking it)

• darthmaim: One problem could be values containing ,.
