如何验证其中一个表单数据是一个数组？

Question

I have a form with these inputs: name, height , weight and mobilenumbers[](this is an array) for example: mobilenumbers

[12345678,88665544,45456574,33669988]

The user can dynamically add more fields of "mobilenumbers". I need to validate the array of "mobilenumbers". How do i do that? Laravel documentation is quite confusing. whether i need to write custom validation in AppServiceProvider or can i simply validate each data in the array? in laravel 5.4 documentation it says something like:

$validator = Validator::make($request->all(), [
'person.*.email' => 'email|unique:users',
'person.*.first_name' => 'required_with:person.*.last_name',
]);

but in my case my array is simply mobilenumbers[], how do i do that?

Thanks a lot in advance

Answer 1

I figured out the answer.

 public function create(Request $request){

     $validation = $this->validate($request, [

         'name' => 'Required',
         'mobilenumbers.*' => 'phone:US', //adding.* identifies it as an array
         'height' => 'required',  
         'weight' => 'Required',


    ]);

and the phone:US that i am using here is anoter package which helps you check for the mobilenumber format is in speficied country tpe or not. Like im using US to check if all the entered mobile numbers are US based numbers. you can check out that library here for laravel: https://github.com/Propaganistas/Laravel-Phone
