A simple package to make xeditable easier to use within Laravel.

Installation

composer require sudomabider/laravel-xeditable

That's it.

Instructions

• Have your x-editable based requests extend Sudomabider\LaravelXEditable\XEditableRequest. This class will first validate the initial request to make sure it's a valid x-editable request, and then rearrange the request parameters into a normal form request, e.g. from {name: 'gender', value: 'male'} into {gender: 'male'}

• You may restrict the names allowed from a request

  protected function allowedEditableNames()
  {
      return ['name', 'gender', 'email'];
  }

  This is particularly useful when multiple x-editable requests are grouped into a single class.

• Define validation rules as you would in a normal form request:

  public function rules()
  {
      return [
          'email' => 'required|email'
      ];
  }

  You may want to return different rules depending on which parameter is present:

  public function rules()
  {
      if ($this->exists('email')) {
          return [
              'email' => 'required|email'
          ];
      }
      
      if ($this->exists('name')) {
          return [
              'name' => 'required|min:3'
          ];
      }
  }
