I have two models User and Profile everything is working fine and creating a record perfectly.
For validation, I have created request classes as below.
<?php
namespace App\Http\Requests;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Http\FormRequest;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Validator;
use function __;
use function preg_match;
class UserRequest extends FormRequest
{
/**
* Determine if the user is authorized to make this request.
*
* @return bool
* @todo set role based permission for the method
*
*/
public function authorize()
{
return TRUE;
}
/**
* Get the validation rules that apply to the request.
*
* @return array
*/
public function rules()
{
Validator::extend(
'without_spaces',
function ($attr, $value) {
return preg_match('/^\S*$/u', $value);
},
__('validation.username_space')
);
switch ($this->method()) {
case 'POST':
return [
'username' => 'required|string|without_spaces|max:255|unique:users',
'email' => 'required|string|email|max:255|unique:users,email',
'password' => 'required|string|min:8|confirmed',
'role' => 'required',
];
case 'PUT':
case 'PATCH':
return [
'username' => 'sometimes|required|string|without_spaces|max:255|unique:users,username,' . $this->user->id,
'email' => 'required|string|email|max:255|unique:users,email,' . $this->user->id,
'password' => 'nullable|string|min:8|confirmed',
'role' => 'required',
];
case 'GET':
case 'DELETE':
default:
return [];
break;
}
}
}
<?php
namespace App\Http\Requests;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Http\FormRequest;
use Illuminate\Validation\Rule;
use function __;
use function preg_match;
class ProfileRequest extends FormRequest
{
/**

*
* @return bool
*/
public function authorize()
{
return FALSE;
}
/**
* Get the validation rules that apply to the request.

* @return array
*/
public function rules()
{
Validator::extend('unique_field', function ($attributes, $value, $parameters, $validator) {
return;
},
__('validation.username_space')
);
switch ($this->method()) {
case 'POST':
case 'PUT':
case 'PATCH':
return [
'first_name' => 'max:20',

'mobile' => 'regex:/(01)[0-9]{9}/|digits:8 ',
'city' => 'max:30',
'facebook' => 'url',
'twitter' => 'url',
'youtube' => 'url',
'instagram' => 'url',
];
case 'GET':
case 'DELETE':
default:
return [];
break;
}
}
}
public function store(UserRequest $request)
{
// begin transaction
DB::beginTransaction();
try {
// create user
$user = User::create([
'username' => $request->username,
'email' => $request->email,
'password' => Hash::make($request->password),
'role' => $request->role,
]);
// set profile data
$profile = new Profile([
'first_name' => $request->first_name,
'last_name' => $request->last_name,
'mobile' => $request->mobile,
'city' => $request->city,
'facebook' => $request->facebook,
'twitter' => $request->twitter,

]);
// save profile data
$user->profile()->save($profile);
// commit transaction

return redirect(route('admin.users.index'))->with('success', __('messages.admin.feedback.user_created'));

return redirect(route('admin.users.index'))->with('error', __('messages.admin.feedback.user_created'));
}
} catch (Throwable $exception) {
// rollback if error
DB::rollBack();
throw $exception;
}
}
public function update(UserRequest $request, User $user)
{
try {
$user->email = $request->email;
$user->role = $request->role;
if ($request->has('password')) {
$user->password = Hash::make($request->password);
}
$user->save();
// set profile data
$profile = [
'first_name' => $request->first_name,
'last_name' => $request->last_name,
'mobile' => $request->mobile,
'city' => $request->city,
'facebook' => $request->facebook,

// save profile data

return redirect(route('admin.users.index'))->with('success', __('messages.admin.feedback.user_updated'));

Question:
I have one single form for user fields and profile fields. Now I am not sure how to use both request classes in method to validate fields.
I have found a workaround. Type-hit the ProfileRequest class in store and update methods and used it to validate profile fields.
public function store(UserRequest $request, ProfileRequest $profileRequest)
{
// begin transaction
DB::beginTransaction();
try {
// create user
$user = User::create([
'username' => $request->username,
'email' => $request->email,
'password' => Hash::make($request->password),
'role' => $request->role,
]);
// set profile data
$profile = new Profile([
'first_name' => $profileRequest->first_name,
'last_name' => $profileRequest->last_name,
'mobile' => $profileRequest->mobile,
'city' => $profileRequest->city,
'facebook' => $profileRequest->facebook,
'twitter' => $profileRequest->twitter,
'youtube' => $profileRequest->youtube,
'instagram' => $profileRequest->instagram,
]);
// save profile data
$user->profile()->save($profile);
// commit transaction
DB::commit();
// if user created
if ($user) {
return redirect(route('admin.users.index'))->with('success', __('messages.admin.feedback.user_created'));
} else {
return redirect(route('admin.users.index'))->with('error', __('messages.admin.feedback.user_created'));
}
} catch (Throwable $exception) {
// rollback if error
DB::rollBack();
throw $exception;
}
}
public function update(UserRequest $request, ProfileRequest $profileRequest, User $user)
{
try {
$user->email = $request->email;
$user->role = $request->role;
if ($request->has('password')) {
$user->password = Hash::make($request->password);
}
$user->save();
// set profile data
$profile = [
'first_name' => $profileRequest->first_name,
'last_name' => $profileRequest->last_name,
'mobile' => $profileRequest->mobile,
'city' => $profileRequest->city,
'facebook' => $profileRequest->facebook,
'twitter' => $profileRequest->twitter,
'youtube' => $profileRequest->youtube,
'instagram' => $profileRequest->instagram,
];
// save profile data
$user->profile()->update($profile);
return redirect(route('admin.users.index'))->with('success', __('messages.admin.feedback.user_updated'));
} catch (Throwable $exception) {
throw $exception;
}
}
