Custom Validation Rule in Model

Hi,
Thanks for the links...
So I have this code in my model for validation:

PHP Code:

protected $validationRules = [
 'day_walked' => 'trim|required|is_unique[walking_stats.day_walked]',
'cal_burned' => 'trim|required|decimal|greater_than[0]',
'miles_walked' => 'trim|required|decimal|greater_than[0]',
'duration' => 'trim|required|exact_length[8]|durationFormat(duration)|durationFormatValues(duration)|durationZeroError(duration)',
'mph' => 'trim|required|decimal|greater_than[0]',
  ]; 


Say for the

PHP Code:

durationFormat(duration) 


rule, if I have that function called out in the public $ruleSets array in the Config/Validation.php file which is written in my app/Validation/WalkValidationRules.php file, can I access that function and other's in in my model?

Sorry, I still don't understand what you want 
Can you explain in more detail with an example?

If you need to access the durationFormat() method in the model, then simply create an instance of the WalkValidationRules class.

PHP Code:

$wvr = new \App\Validation\WalkValidationRules();
$wvr->durationFormat();
