Laravel Helpers

Validation

rules

Use Laravel's Validation component (opens new window) as a field validator.

use Tobyz\JsonApiServer\Laravel;

$type->attribute('name')
    ->validate(Laravel\rules('required|min:3|max:20'));

Pass a string or array of validation rules to be applied to the value. You can also pass an array of custom messages and custom attribute names as the second and third arguments.

Authentication

authenticated

A shortcut to call Auth::check().

$type->creatable(Laravel\authenticated());

can

Use Laravel's Gate component (opens new window) to check if the given ability is allowed. If this is used in the context of a model (eg. updatable, deletable, or on a field), then the model will be passed to the gate check as well.

$type->updatable(Laravel\can('update-post'));
