Where in Laravel is it better to validate incoming data - in the controller or make a custom Request for the controller, or Middleware?

Question

Laravel

subject :)

What approach will be the best in terms of OOP and everything else?

Or to take out in a separate service class?

Or something else?

How right?

Answer 1

Validation is usually what? Sheet) Therefore, your Form Request. Writing php artisan make:request and then importing into ide is literally seconds of time. But in this class you can do a lot of things. For example, prepareForValidation, messages, logic with its own rules, and all this will be in one place. Pushing validation into middleware or into your own classes in Laravel is a perversion.

Answer 2

In fact, Lara ALREADY has this very separate service - Illuminate\Http\Request , which is designed to validate incoming data.

Answer 3

Good point about validation
