Data Object For Array

[hirenkeraliya]

What do we do when we have an array on the request object?

'items' => 'nullable|array',
'items.*.name' => 'required|string',
'items.*.age' => 'nullable|integer',
'items.*.school' => 'nullable|string',

You would create a DataCollection with Data objects, the rules of that data object will be used as rules for the array.

I see the documentation and I got your answer. But, I am new to this data object flow can you able to share the example for this one?

[rubenvanassche]

I've added a short section within the docs that explains it a bit:

laravel-data/docs/as-a-data-transfer-object/request-to-data-object.md

Line 287 in b128615

## Validating a collection of data objects:

@rubenvanassche And how would you validate then something like this:

'no_adjudication' => ['array'],
'no_adjudication.*' => ['boolean', 'accepted'],

It seems I can't get my around this...

[rubenvanassche]

Take a look at the rules() method, you can manually define rules for each data object over there. I think a specific attribute would be something cool in the future to allow this.

Anyone able to share the example of the crud with the file upload, normal string, array field with some optional and some required fields.

One more thing I need your suggestion for is the Laravel data class file.

where I can put the file it's in the app\Data\CartData.php or do I need to put this in another folder?

Currently, I put this on the app\Domains\Sales\Data\CartData.php is this fine?

You're free to put them anywhere you want 😄
