How to write validation?

Question

Laravel

I have a big form. The data from this form is stored in two tables. Part to one, part to another.
I see options:
One common validator. Then scatter each field according to the models

$validator = Validator::make();
$validator1->validate();
//...
$model1->update([
  'field1_1' => $request->get('field1_1'),
  // Дофига полей
]);
$model2->create([
  'field2_1' => $request->get('field2_1'),
  // Дофига полей
])

Or write two validators and shorten the second part.

$validator1 = Validator::make();
$validator2 = Validator::make();

$data1 = $validator1->validate();
$data2 = $validator2->validate();

$model1->update($data1);
$model2->create($data2);

But here I run into the problem of catching validation errors. I write something like this, but I don't like it:

try {
  $data = $validator1->validate();
} catch (ValidationException $e) {
  return redirect()->back()->withErrors($validator1)->withInput();
}

try {
  $data = $validator2->validate();
} catch (ValidationException $e) {
  return redirect()->back()->withErrors($validator2)->withInput();
}

What to do? Maybe somehow two validators can be combined? Or is there some other way to describe it? Or leave the first option, albeit a little more verbose?

Answer 1

one request one request file. in it, validation of all fields, then in the controller you do what you need with them. and Laravel itself will return errors
