How do I validate an array of integers in Laravel
Now laravel has option to set condition on array elements. No need to write your own validator for simple things like validation int array. Use this (if using in controller)-
$validator = \Validator::make(compact('someVar'), [ 'someVar' => 'required|array', 'someVar.*' => 'integer']);$this->validateWith($validator);or
$this->validate($request, [ 'someVar' => 'array', 'someVar.*' => 'int']);
Validator::extend('numericarray', function($attribute, $value, $parameters){ foreach($value as $v) { if(!is_int($v)) return false; } return true;});Use it
$rules = array('someVar'=>'required|array|numericarray')Edit: Up to date version of this validation would not require the definition of numericarray method.
$rules = [ 'someVar' => 'required|array', 'someVar.*' => 'integer',];
In Laravel 5 you can check the elements in an array by using .*. For you this would mean:
$rules = array('someVar' => 'required|array', 'someVar.*' => 'integer')
