Enhanced Lumen Validation

NOTE: This package is for Lumen v6. For Lumen v5 use https://github.com/rewake/lumen-validation

This library provides enhancements to the illuminate/validation package which will validate objects and classes instead of arrays "only". The default Lumen validator has been wrapped so that all existing validation functionality should be available, however this is not yet fully tested.

A ValidationRuleInterface is also provided so that validation rules may be classified for ease of use and code separation.

Registering the Validator

A Service Provider is included to make registering the Validation Service easy from app.php config.

$app->register(Rewake\Lumen\Providers\ValidationServiceProvider::class);

NOTE: This Service Provider will override the default app('validator') alias within lumen, and is currently not tested fully. If you would like to keep them separate (or need to keep them separate), you can create a new Provider to do so.

Example

public function register()
{
    // Register Validation Service
    $this->app->singleton(
        'validation_service',
        \Rewake\Lumen\Services\ValidationService::class
    );
}

    }

    public static function rules()
    {
        return [
            "first" => [
