laravel-request

I have come across an instance where I need to alter the data that needs to be validated i.e. when no slug has been submitted, create one from the title and then validate that it is unique. The request has a method replace() which is supposed to replace the input data on the request but it doesn't appear to work. Can anyone shine a light on this? This is what I have: <?php namespace Purposemedia\Pages\Http\Requests; use Dashboard\Http\Requests\Request; use Illuminate\Auth\Guard; class PageRequest extends Request { /** * [authorize description] * @return {[type]} [description] */ public

I want to validate the route parameters in the "form request" but don't know how to do it. Below is the code sample, I am trying with: Route // controller Server Route::group(['prefix' => 'server'], function(){ Route::get('checkToken/{token}',['as'=>'checkKey','uses'=> 'ServerController@checkToken']); }); Controller namespace App\Http\Controllers; use App\Http\Controllers\Controller; use Illuminate\Http\Request; use App\Http\Requests; class ServerController extends Controller { public function checkToken( \App\Http\Requests\CheckTokenServerRequest $request) // OT: - why I have to set full path

Is there a Laravel way to get the current path of a Request with its query parameters? For instance, for the URL: http://www.example.com/one/two?key=value Request::getPathInfo() would return /one/two . Request::url() would return http://www.example.com/one/two .

But you can easily get it by concatenating results of 2 other methods: echo (Request::getPathInfo() . (Request::getQueryString() ? ('?' . Request:

I'm trying to create a set of rules under the new \HTTP\Requests\UpdateArticle class for the slug field, which needs to have unique filter applied, but only when the id is not equal the url parameter of the route name article/{article} . What I got so far is: public function rules() { return [ 'title' => 'required|min:3', 'excerpt' => 'required', 'body' => 'required', 'slug' => 'required|unique:articles,slug,?', 'active' => 'required', 'published_at' => 'required|date' ]; } I need to replace the question mark at the end of the unique filter for slug field with the id from the url, but don't

I know that one can use $request->get('my_param') or Input::get('my_param') to get a POST or GET request parameter in Laravel (I'm toying with v5/dev version now, but it's the same for 4.2). But how can I make sure that my my_param came via a POST parameter and was not just from a ?my_param=42 appended to the URL? (besides reverting to the ol' $_POST and $_GET superglobals and throwing testability out the window) (Note: I also know that the Request::get method will give me the POST param for a POST request, if both a POST an URL/GET param with the same name exist, but... but if the param land
