Custom validation in Laravel 4

Question

To add a new validation to Laravel I have done this:

made a new file called customValidation.php in app/start/

and then included it in

Answer 1

I would create custom app/validators folder for this then.

1, Create app/validators/CustomValidate.php

2, run php artisan optimize or composer dumpautoload

3, Somewhere register your custom validator. Perhaps add app/validators.php into start/global.php

Validator::resolver(function($translator, $data, $rules, $message){
    return new CustomValidate($translator, $data, $rules, $message);
});

4, Validate

$rules = ['agreed' => 'checkbox'];
$data = ['agreed' => 0];

$v = Validator::make($data, $rules);

dd($v->passes());
