Validating array in laravel requires the key to exist. Remove the key and validation passes
I have an items array, sent to the controller as JSON within the items form key.
[{
"sku": "w-hook-as1",
"qty": 2,
"cost_ex_tax": "34.22",
"tax_rate": "0.2"
}]
Here it is converted to an array:
$request->merge(['items' => json_decode($request->items, true)]);
and validated against the rule:
'items.*.sku' =>[
'required',
Rule::exists('products')->where(function ($query) {
$query->where('company_id', Auth::user()->company_id);
})
],
The exists rule does work, if the array key that its validation against exists, assuming the key exists. If I simply send:
[{
"qty": 2,
"cost_ex_tax": "34.22",
"tax_rate": "0.2"
}]
Then the validation passes.
Is there a way I can check that the key exists as well as validate its content? I would have expected that the required check does this, but it does not seem to work.
How to validate array in Laravel? - This answer suggests to validate that it is an array with x number of elements, but still does not check the exact keys I am looking for are there.

I tried to replicate what you have without the custom Rule so what I did is the following:
in my blade I have
<input type="text" name="items" value='[{"sku": "w-hook-as1","qty": 2,"cost_ex_tax": "34.22","tax_rate": "0.2"}, {"qty": 2,"cost_ex_tax": "34.22","tax_rate": "0.2"}]'>
You can notice here that in my second object I don't have the sku item in the object.
Then in the controller:
$arr = request()->merge(['items' => json_decode(request('items'), true)]);
$validator = Validator::make($arr->all(), [
'items.*.sku' =>[
'required'
]
]);
dd($validator->fails(), $validator);
And the response is the following:
true // this is because the validation fails.
// and the message bag contains this
#messages: array:1 [▼
"items.1.sku" => array:1 [▼
0 => "The items.1.sku field is required."
]
]
So make sure you are not doing anything wrong.
Print out $request->all() and make sure that your items have the following content:
"items" => array:2 [▼
0 => array:4 [▼
"sku" => "w-hook-as1"
"qty" => 2
"cost_ex_tax" => "34.22"
"tax_rate" => "0.2"
]
1 => array:3 [▼
"qty" => 2
"cost_ex_tax" => "34.22"
"tax_rate" => "0.2"
]
]
if not then you need to modify your validation.
Let me know if I am not following some steps that you do.
