I need to do a data validation coming from an XML, have as I use a Validation Request?

Or Validation Request only for data coming from a form?

php laravel validation laravel-5

  • It would be interesting to give an example of XML and what has already mounted.

  • I believe that requests are only for form validations.

You cannot directly use the Request Validation of Laravel 5, but you can use the Validator with any array. First read the XML contents.

<?php

public function validate(){
    $xml = '<book>
      <author>Gambardella, Matthew</author>
      <title>XML Developer\'s Guide</title>
      <genre>Computer</genre>
      <price>44.95</price>
      <publish_date>2000-10-01</publish_date>
      <description>An in-depth look at creating applications with XML.</description>
    </book>';

    // Rotina para extrair os dados do XML
    $xmlData = (array) simplexml_load_string($xml);

    $rules = [
        'author' => 'string|required',
        'title' => 'string|required',
        'genre' => 'string',
        'price' => 'numeric',
        'publish_date' => 'date',
        'description' => 'string'
    ];

    if (Validator::make($xmlData, $rules)){
        return $xmlData;
    }

    return 'XML Invalido :(';

}
