How to fix regular expression validation error in Laravel 5?

Question

Laravel

Good day. I am learning Laravel. When validating data, forms will run into a problem. One of the fields needs to be checked against a regular expression. The corresponding validator method is present in the documentation, but when executed, I catch an exception that this method is missing.

BadMethodCallException in Validator.php line 2615:
Method [validateRegexp] does not exist.

static public $rules = array(
            'node'     	=> array(
                            'required',
                            'unique:com_object',
                            'regexp:/^ПРП\w+-\w+$|^АО\w+$|^ПВН\w+-\w+$/i'
                           ),
 			'street'    => 'required'
          );

...

$validation = Validator::make($data, Node::$rules,Node::$messages);
