FormRequest Validation Example

If you validates the forms using FormRequest, you can simply put your validation code in the view.

You normally define your FormRequest

StoreBlogPostRequest.php

<?php namespace App\Http\Requests;
use App\Http\Requests\Request;

class StoreBlogPostRequest extends Request {

	/**
	 * Get the validation rules that apply to the request.
	 *
	 * @return array
	 */
	public function rules()
	{
		return [
           'title' => 'required|unique|max:255',
           'body' => 'required',
        ];
	}

}

and in the view you can reference it

post_edit.balde.php

<div class="container">
     <div class="row">
         <div class="col-md-10 col-md-offset-1">
             <form class="form-horizontal" role="form" method="POST" action="" id="my-form">
                 <div class="form-group">
                     <label class="col-md-4 control-label">Title</label>
                     <div class="col-md-6">
                         <input type="text" class="form-control" name="title">
                     </div>
                 </div>
                 <div class="form-group">
                     <label class="col-md-4 control-label">Body</label>
                     <div class="col-md-6">
                         <textarea name="body"></textarea>
                     </div>
                 </div>
             </form>
         </div>
     </div>
 </div>
