Best way to implement validation rules
#1
Sad 

Hi, 

I'm developing a system for large scope project. I'm very confuse with validation in the CodeIgniter guide/documentation  it is hard to understand.

What is the best strategy to store validation rule?
Use Validation service or Controller or Models?


Huh

If you referring to data-entity validation during db INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE operations,
the setValidationRule method is mentioned in the docs (https://codeigniter.com/user_guide/model...dationRule) as taking place in the model.

Please keep us updated on how your project goes!

Incidentally, how did you select CodeIgniter4?

(Using CodeIgniter since 1.x)

I used to store validation in controllers. I just create a method containing rules and messages, so it can be used by one or more methods. I usually make a separation between the app and database by its controller and model. Every data should pass validation in controller before they sent to model to be inserted to database.

I love CodeIgniter4 because it is easy to understand and fast! This is my website (https://jaironlanda.com) I'm develop using latest version CodeIgniter 4. 

Unfortunately, the useguide is hard to understand. It is hard to find the right way to use validation, library, custom model, and etc. Sometime I refer from youtube (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCIbtEs1...bgD_ake7HA) he is good, he show example how use and how its work!

So back to my question about validation rule. I wonder when to use Validation in Models, Validation in Controller, and Validation service?

How you make separation between the app and database? you put all validation rules here? 
PHP Code:
Config\Validation.php 

Thanks!
