## Test Your Laravel Validation Skills

This repository is a test for you: perform a set of tasks listed below, and fix the PHPUnit tests, which are currently intentionally failing.

To test if all the functions work correctly, there are PHPUnit tests in `tests/Feature/ValidationTest.php` file.

In the very beginning, if you run `php artisan test`, or `vendor/bin/phpunit`, all tests fail.
Your task is to make those tests pass.

## How to Submit Your Solution

If you want to submit your solution, you should make a Pull Request to the `main` branch.
It will automatically run the tests via GitHub Actions and will show you/me if the test pass.

If you don't know how to make a Pull Request, [here's my video with instructions](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vEcT6JIFji0).

This task is mostly self-served, so I'm not planning review or merge the Pull Requests. This test is for yourselves to assess your skills, the automated tests will be your answer if you passed the test :)


## Questions / Problems?

If you're struggling with some tasks, or you have suggestions how to improve the task, create a GitHub Issue.

Good luck!

## Task 1. Simple Validation Rules.

In `app/Http/Controllers/PostController.php` file, the `store()` method need validation rules: title should be required and unique.

Test method `test_simple_validation_rules()`.

---

## Task 2. Array Validation.

Imagine your form has fields as an array:

```
<input name="profile[name]" ... />
<input name="profile[email]" ... />
```

In `app/Http/Controllers/ProfileController.php` file, the `update()` method need validation rules: profile[name] and profile[email] fields should be required.

Test method `test_array_validation()`.

---

## Task 3. Showing Validation Errors.

In `resources/views/projects/create.blade.php` file, show the validation errors, for `"name" => "required", "description" => "required"` rules. Use whatever HTML structure you want, like `<ul><li>error</li><li>error 2</li></ul>`. No design needed, the test will just check if the error messages are present.

Test method `test_validation_errors_shown_in_blade()`.

---

## Task 4. Showing a Specific Validation Error.

In `resources/views/products/create.blade.php` file, show the validation error for `"name" => "required"`, using a specific Blade directive to show one specific error.

Test method `test_validation_specific_error_shown_in_blade()`.

---

## Task 5. Old Values Staying After Validation Error.

In `resources/views/teams/create.blade.php` file, the value of "name" field should remain in the form, after failed validation. Change the Blade file so that it would show old value.

Test method `test_old_value_stays_in_form_after_validation_error()`.

---

## Task 6. Form Request Validation.

In `app/Http/Controllers/ItemController.php` file, validation is performed via class StoreItemRequest, but that class doesn't exist, intentionally. Your task is to create it, with parameters of authorized true, and validation rules of name/title as required fields.

Test method `test_form_request_validation()`.

---

## Task 7. Update Forbidden Field.

In `app/Http/Controllers/UserController.php` file, in `update` method, the code updates all the fields. But users.is_admin should not be updated, even if it's passed via the request. Change the line with `$request->all()` to avoid this security issue of updating the admin.

Test method `test_update_forbidden_field()`.
