How to perform form array validation in Laravel 5.2?

Laravel 5.2 gives more advanced features compared to Laravel 5.1. One of the feature included in Laravel 5.2 is “ Form Array Validation”.

#Creating blade template
We can create a simple form for using the form array validator in Laravel. Let’s imagine we want to create a form for storing user details like first name, last name etc ,so we can create a html form like,

{{ csrf_field() }}

Form Array validation

First Name 

Last Name 

Email 

Password 

Defining The Routes
First, let’s assume we have the following routes defined in our app/Http/routes.php file:

// Display a form to create a blog post... Route::get('form', 'PostController@create'); // Store a new blog post... Route::post('store', 'PostController@store');

#Creating The PostController

What if, instead of an asterisk to indicate “all”, you put a specific number there? Turns out it’ll only validate the entities with that ID. So if you put person.1.name in the validation array instead of person.*.name, only the person with the ID of 1 will be validated according to those rules.

#Displaying Error Message In The Page
Add the below lines of code to displaying the error message in your page as a result of validation

@if (count($errors) > 0)

•  
  •  
    •  
•  
  •  
    • {{ $error }}

@endforeach

@endif
