How to validate without request in Laravel

Validator::make expects array and not a request object. You can pass any array and implements the rules on it.

Validator::make(['name' => 'Tom'], ['name' => 'required', 'id' => 'required']);

And it will validate the array. So $request object is not necessary.

You can achieve this by create request object like so:

$request = new Request([
    'id' => 1,
    'body' => 'text'
]);

$this->validate($request, [
    'id' => 'required',
    'body' => 'required'
]);

and thus you will get all the functionality of the Request class

$request->all() is array not request object. This code will work:

$data = [
    'id' => 1,
    'body' => 'text'
];

$validator = Validator::make($data, [
    'id' => 'required',
    'body' => 'required',
]);

Should be. Because $request->all() hold all input data as an array .

$input = [
    'title' => 'testTitle',
    'body' => 'text'
];

$input is your custom array.

$validator = Validator::make($input, [
    'title' => 'required|unique:posts|max:255',
    'body' => 'required',
]);
