How to validate an API REST? - MatheusCastro - 04-17-2020
Hello,
I'm extending Resource Controller
In situations that are passed as GET I can validate this way:
PHP Code:
public function index()
{
// this
if (!$this->validate([
'page' => 'required|is_natural_no_zero|max_length[11]',
'city_id' => 'required|is_natural_no_zero|max_length[11]',
'search' => 'permit_empty|max_length[50]'
])) return $this->fail($this->validator->getErrors());
// continue
}
However, when it is necessary to pass the parameter through the function, how to solve this?
PHP Code:
public function show($id = null)
{
// error
if (!$this->validate([
$id => 'required|is_natural_no_zero|max_length[11]',
])) return $this->fail($this->validator->getErrors());
// continue
}
Can anyone help?

There are a hidden function named setGlobal (hidden as it's not in the documentation yet). That allow you to set get, post etc.
PHP Code:
public function show($id = null)
{
$this->request->setGlobal('get', ['page' => $id]);
// error
if (!$this->validate([
'page' => 'required|is_natural_no_zero|max_length[11]',
])) return $this->fail($this->validator->getErrors());
// continue
}
Haven't tested it out myself.

Hello, interesting function.
I ran some tests with it separately and I think I found some bugs.
Try using:
PHP Code:
$this->request->setGlobal('post', ['id' => $id]);
print_r($this->request->getVar());
// response: array ()
When using getVar, the declaration is not recognized.
However, if you use getPost or getGet, the parameter will be recognized.
PHP Code:
$this->request->setGlobal('post', ['id' => $id]);
print_r($this->request->getPost());
// response: Array ( [id] => 30 )
$this->request->setGlobal('get', ['id' => $id]);
print_r($this->request->getGet());
// response: Array ( [id] => 30 )
And the $this->validate function within it has the withRequest that the request is getVar()
PHP Code:
public function withRequest(RequestInterface $request): ValidationInterface
{
if (in_array($request->getMethod(), ['put', 'patch', 'delete'])) {
$this->data = $request->getRawInput();
} else {
// this
$this->data = $request->getVar() ?? [];
}
return $this;
}
Solved using:
PHP Code:
public function show($id = null)
{
$this->request->setGlobal('request', ['id' => $id]);
if (!$this->validate([
'id' => 'required|is_natural_no_zero|max_length[11]',
])) return $this->fail($this->validator->getErrors());
// continue
}
Since withRequest identifies only the getVar that receives $ _REQUEST, I created the variable of this type.
However, an issue addressed in the post above is still open.
