How to validate array input in Laravel?

In Laravel 5.2 we have very simple and cool feature to validate each array element

If we have input array like this:

<?php $selectedTags= [ ['id'=1,'name'=>'Tag 1'],['id'=2,'name'=>'Tag 2'] ...]; ?>

And we want to validate each item in $tags array, we should make valdation like this:

$validator = Validator::make($input, [
             
            'selectedTags.*.id' => 'required|numeric',
            'selectedTags.*.name' => 'required|alpha_spaces', /* alpha spaces ->is custom filter, you can  find tutorial here on coditty*/
        ]);

In your language folder, inside of validation.php you should add these lines:

'custom' => [
       
        'selectedTags.*.name' => [
            'alpha_spaces' => 'Search tags can contain only alphanumeric characters!',
        ],
       'selectedTags.*.id' => [
            'numeric' => 'Search tag id can contain only numbers!',
        ],

    ],

And your validation is complete!
