Laravel is a very popular PHP web application development framework. It has powerful features and tools that help developers build projects quickly. One feature worth mentioning is validator. It is a tool for validating input data and can be easily used in Laravel projects.

In this article, we will explore how to install Laravel validator and show how to use it in your project.

1. Installing Laravel

First, you need to install Laravel using Composer. If you don't have Composer installed, follow the steps below to install it.

Run the following commands in a terminal or command prompt:

php?-r?"copy('https://getcomposer.org/installer',?'composer-setup.php');"
php?-r?"if?(hash_file('sha384',?'composer-setup.php')?===?'544e09ee996cdf60ece3804abc52599c22b1f40f4323403c44d44fdfdd586475ca9813a858088ffbc1f233e9b180f061')?{?echo?'Installer?verified';?}?else?{?echo?'Installer?corrupt';?unlink('composer-setup.php');?}?echo?PHP_EOL;"
php?composer-setup.php
php?-r?"unlink('composer-setup.php');"

These commands will download the Composer installer and save it in the current directory. To install Composer globally, move the downloaded file to the location where you wish to install it, then make it globally available by running the following command:

mv?composer.phar?/usr/local/bin/composer

This command will move Composer to the /usr/local/bin directory middle.

Now you can install Laravel using Composer. Run the following command in a terminal or command prompt:

composer?create-project?--prefer-dist?laravel/laravel?blog

This command will create a new Laravel project named "blog" and install all required dependencies.

2. Installing Laravel validator

Installing Laravel validator is very simple. Simply run the following command in a terminal or command prompt:

composer?require?illuminate/validation

This command will cause Composer to download and install the Laravel validator library and its related dependencies.

3. Using Laravel validator

Now, you have successfully installed Laravel validator. Let's take a look at how to use it in a Laravel project.

In Laravel projects, you can use the validator class to validate input data. The validator class provides many built-in validation rules such as required, email, etc., and you can easily create custom rules.

The following is a simple example showing how to use a validator in a Laravel controller to validate submitted form data:

public?function?store(Request?$request)
{
????//?驗證請求數(shù)據(jù)
????$validatedData?=?$request->validate([
????????'name'?=>?'required|string|max:255',
????????'email'?=>?'required|email|max:255|unique:users',
????????'password'?=>?'required|string|min:6|confirmed',
????]);

????//?在此處處理驗證通過后的邏輯
}

As can be seen from the above code snippet, the validate method receives the rules Array as its parameter and throws a ValidationException if validation fails. If the validation passes, it returns an associative array containing the validated data.

In this example, we verify the existence and correct format of each form field, and use unique rules to ensure that email addresses are not duplicated in the database.
