laravel:form-requests

What problem does it solve?

This Skill centralizes validation and authorization logic, preventing controllers from becoming bloated with these concerns and improving code organization.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Decoupled Validation: Move complex validation rules into dedicated Form Request classes.
• Authorization Gates: Define access control within Form Requests using the authorize() method.
• Use Case: When updating a user profile, all the checks for required fields, email format, and whether the current user is authorized to make the change are handled by the UpdateProfileRequest before the controller method even executes.

Quick Start

Create a new form request for handling user profile updates by running the command: sail artisan make:request UpdateProfileRequest.
