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.

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().
