I have a "countries" table with the following fields:
id: integer
name: json
Field "name" stores value as:
{ "en": "Germany", "de": "Deutschland" }
I wrote the following rule:
'country' => 'nullable|string|max:255|exists:countries,name->en'
but it doesn't work like that. How do I make it work?
MariaDB 10.1.36 / Laravel 5.7
Laravel 5.7 doesn't support JSON queries on MariaDB. This will be fixed in Laravel 5.8.
In the meantime, you can use this package: https://github.com/ybr-nx/laravel-mariadb
