To validate a PATCH or PUT request in Laravel, you can follow these steps:
- Open the controller file where your PATCH or PUT route is defined.
- Import the necessary classes at the top of the file.

use IlluminateSupportFacadesValidator; use IlluminateHttpRequest; |
- Inside the method handling the PATCH or PUT request, write the validation logic using the Validator class.

public function update(Request $request, $id)
{
$validator = Validator::make($request->all(), [
'field1' => 'required',
'field2' => 'numeric',
// Add more validation rules for other fields
]);
if ($validator->fails()) {
return response()->json(['errors' => $validator->errors()], 400);
}
// Proceed with the update logic if validation passes
// Example: Update the database record
$record = YourModel::find($id);
$record->field1 = $request->input('field1');
$record->field2 = $request->input('field2');
$record->save();
return response()->json(['message' => 'Record updated successfully'], 200);
}

In the example above, $request->all() retrieves all the input data sent in the PATCH or PUT request. Modify the validation rules as per your requirements. If the validation fails, the errors will be returned as a JSON response with a 400 status code.
- Customize the response as needed based on your application requirements.
- Save the changes and test your PATCH or PUT request with different input variations to ensure the validation is working correctly.
