why isn't array validation working?

[prescriptionlifeline]

Although I just got FormRequest validation working I was meanwhile experimenting with array validation and, for reasons unclear to me, it isn't working.

Here's my code:

        $rules = [
            'firstName' => ['required', 'string', 'max:128'],
            'lastName' => ['required', 'string', 'max:128'],
            'email' => ['required', 'string', 'lowercase', 'email', 'max:255'],
            'phoneCell' => ['nullable', 'string', 'max:25'],
            'phoneHome' => ['nullable', 'string', 'max:25'],
            'phoneWork' => ['nullable', 'string', 'max:25'],
            'address' => ['nullable', 'string', 'max:255'],
            'city' => ['nullable', 'string', 'max:255'],
            'state' => ['nullable', 'string', 'max:2'],
            'zip' => ['nullable', 'string', 'max:10'],
            'currentDues.*.amountPaid' => ['required'],
        ];

        CRUD::operation(['create'], function() {
            $rules['email'][] = new Email;
            $this->crud->setValidation($rules);
        });

        CRUD::operation(['update'], function() {
            $rules['email'][] = Rule::unique('users')->ignore(request()->input('id'));
            $this->crud->setValidation($rules);
        });

None of these rule are validating. Like I performed the update CRUD operation after deleting the first name field and I received no errors what-so-ever despite that field being required and not nullable.

Since FormRequest is working this isn't all that important but none-the-less it's now a point of curiosity for me.

Hello @prescriptionlifeline as i understand you are handle this rules in Controller.

Can you share your controller code to check how is setup.

Thanks.

Did you was abble to solve this? if you still need assistant please share the code to check the validation rules.

Cheers.

The issue was that I wasn't inheriting the $rules variable from the parent scope. So like instead of doing this:

CRUD::operation(['create'], function() {

I should have been doing this:

CRUD::operation(['create'], function() use ($rules) {

Good to know, so i will close the issue, but please feel free to re-open or create a new one if needed.

Cheers.
