I have a GET route with wildcard Date.
The day wildcard is a string as follows: 20220507 (YYYYMMDD).
After validating the string I want a correct response. Before sending the response I want to verify the string length and format.
My question is, is it possible to validate the string using Illuminate\Foundation\Http\FormRequest or Illuminate\Http\Request Production: Request? Or do they only accept publishing requests?
Code:
php artisan make:request CalendarDayRequest
Example of getting routes in web.php
Route::get('/calendar/{day}' , 'App\Http\Controllers\HomeController@calendar')->name('calendar');
Sample Controller
use App\Http\Requests\CalendarDayRequest;
public function calendar ( CalendarDayRequest $request ) {
// Code
}
Or sample controller 2
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
public function calendar ( Request $request ) {
$validated = $request->validate([
'day' => 'required',
]);
}
I'm getting the error: Infinite redirect loop, too many redirects.

First, you cannot validate route parameters in form requests
However, you can use regular expressions to validate your routes Example:
Route::get('/calendar/{day}', 'App\Http\Controllers\HomeController@calendar') ->name('calendar') ->where('day', '/^[0-9]{4}(0[1-9]|1[0-2])(0[1-9]|[1-2][0-9]|3[0-1])$/');If you still want to use
validate()function or form requestForm request method - override
all()methodpublic function all($k = null){ $data = parent::all($k); $data['day'] = $this->route('day'); return $data; }If that doesn't work, try the following code
public function calendar(Request $request, $day){ $data = $request->all(); $data['day'] = $day; $validator = Validator::make($data, [ 'day' => 'required|date_format:Ymd', ]); if($validator->fails()){ // Do Something abort(404); } }How to verify routing parameters in Laravel 5?
But if you want to use the
validate()function, I recommend you send it as a request parameter.
