I want to override a method (isValidatable
) in the Illuminate\Validation\Validator
class. I have done this by creating a class (outside Illuminate) that extends the Validator and only overrides the isValidatable
method.
I think this will work, except I'm not sure how to create the service provider for the Validator class (or actually CustomLaravelValidator
class). I have created service providers before, but there seems to be going on a lot inside the Validator serviceprovider (Illuminate\Validation\ValidationServiceProvider
). Therefore I don't have a clue on how my custom service provider for this class should look like.
This is my CustomLaravelValidator class:
<?php namespace API\Extensions\Core;
use Illuminate\Validation\Validator;
class CustomLaravelValidator extends Validator {
/**
* Determine if the attribute is validatable.
*
* @param string $rule
* @param string $attribute
* @param mixed $value
* @return bool
*/
protected function isValidatable($rule, $attribute, $value)
{
// Validate integers on empty strings as well
if($rule == 'IntStrict')
{
return true;
}
return $this->presentOrRuleIsImplicit($rule, $attribute, $value) &&
$this->passesOptionalCheck($attribute);
}
}
This is the default ValidationServiceProvider from Laravel:
<?php namespace Illuminate\Validation;
use Illuminate\Support\ServiceProvider;
class ValidationServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider {
/**
* Indicates if loading of the provider is deferred.
*
* @var bool
*/
protected $defer = true;
/**
* Register the service provider.
*
* @return void
*/
public function register()
{
$this->registerPresenceVerifier();
$this->app->bindShared('validator', function($app)
{
$validator = new Factory($app['translator'], $app);
// The validation presence verifier is responsible for determining the existence
// of values in a given data collection, typically a relational database or
// other persistent data stores. And it is used to check for uniqueness.
if (isset($app['validation.presence']))
{
$validator->setPresenceVerifier($app['validation.presence']);
}
return $validator;
});
}
/**
* Register the database presence verifier.
*
* @return void
*/
protected function registerPresenceVerifier()
{
$this->app->bindShared('validation.presence', function($app)
{
return new DatabasePresenceVerifier($app['db']);
});
}
/**
* Get the services provided by the provider.
*
* @return array
*/
public function provides()
{
return array('validator', 'validation.presence');
}
}
Can anyone tell me how my custom serviceprovider have to look like?
