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().
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().
