I can't validate array in json.

I'm not able to validate the array of items that I'm passing via json.

Here's how I'm trying:

Rules:

PHP Code:

public $createTransaction = [
        'api_key' => [
 'label' => 'api-key',
 'rules' => 'required'
 ],

        'date_expire' => [
 'label' => 'Data Expiração',
 'rules' => 'required|valid_date[Y-m-d H:m:s]'
 ],
        
        'customer.name' => [
 'label' => 'Nome',
 'rules' => 'required'
 ],
        'customer.email' => [
 'label' => 'Email',
 'rules' => 'required|valid_email'
 ],
        'customer.external_id' => [
 'label' => 'Id',
 'rules' => 'required'
 ],

        'items.*.id' => [
 'label' => 'Item Id',
 'rules' => 'required'
 ],
        'items.*.name' => [
 'label' => 'Nome do Item',
 'rules' => 'required'
 ],
        'items.*.description' => [
 'label' => 'Descrição do Item',
 'rules' => 'required'
 ],
        'items.*.value' => [
 'label' => 'Valor do Item',
 'rules' => 'required'
 ],

        'amount' => [
 'label' => 'Valor total',
 'rules' => 'required|numeric'
 ],
    ]; 


JSON:

Code:

{
"api_key": "syPK1zJAUT",
"date_expire": "2021-07-27 00:01:00",
"customer":
{
"name": "Reinaldo",
"email": "[email protected]",
"external_id": "1"
},
"items":
[
{
"id": "1",
"name": "Notebook Dell",
"description": "Notebook Dell 4GB",
"value": "3000"
},
{
"id": "2",
"name": "Notebook Samsung",
"description": "Notebook Samsung 4GB",
"value": "3000"
}
],
"amount": "6000"
}

I pass the json normally.

PHP Code:

$json = $this->request->getJSON(true);
$this->validation->run($json, createTransaction); 


It does not validate only on array items, for example: in the "id" field, if only one field is correct, it passes validation.

Which veraion you are using

4.1.3

I use the current version 4.1.3.Below is a json that is wrong, but passes validation:

{
"api_key": "syPK1zJAUT",
"date_expire": "2021-07-27 00:01:00",
"customer":
{
"name": "Reinaldo",
"email": "[email protected]",
"external_id": "1"
},
"items":
[
{
"id": "1",
"name": "Notebook Dell",
"description": "Notebook Dell 4GB",
"value": "3000"
},
{
"ii": "2",
"name": "Notebook Samsung",
"description": "Notebook Samsung 4GB",
"value": "3000"
}
],
"amount": "6000"
}

Note that the second product id is wrong, but in validation it does not affect any

You need to json_decode the json array to an associated array first.

I've tried it though when I give a "json_decode($json, true);" Gives typeerror.

He get the data with getJSON(), so no need to call json_decode, it’s already done by getJSON().

PHP Code:

$json = $this->request->getJSON(true); 


PHP Code:

public function getJSON(bool $assoc = false, int $depth = 512, int $options = 0)
{
    return json_decode($this->body, $assoc, $depth, $options);
}
