How to validate datetime in laravel?

@wilmer.lemke 

In Laravel, you can validate a datetime using Laravel's built-in validation system. Here's an example of how you can validate a datetime field in a form request class:

1. Create a new form request class by running the following command in your terminal:

1

php artisan make:request DateTimeRequest

1. Open the newly created DateTimeRequest.php file in the app/Http/Requests directory.
2. Add the following code to the rules method in the DateTimeRequest class:

1
2
3
4
5
6

public function rules()
{
    return [
        'date' => 'required|date_format:Y-m-d H:i:s',
    ];
}

In this example, we are validating the date field to ensure that it is a required field and is in the format of Y-m-d H:i:s.

1. Use the DateTimeRequest class in your controller method. For example:

1
2
3
4

public function store(DateTimeRequest $request)
{
    // Code to store the validated data
}

By using Laravel's form request validation, you can easily validate datetime fields and ensure that the input meets the required format before processing it further in your application.
