Validation of JSON Fields

[tjmartin69]

Hi,

Seems like the JSON fields are not validated. Would be really great to support this.

Is this something you are planning to implement in the future?

Many Thanks,
Tom

These subfields are not included in the request and dont belong to the main resource therefore they cant be validated. Any suggestion on this? maybe make partial support for certain rules and do a frontend validation?

@disitec Maybe frontend validation on some rules would work. Let me have a dig into how validation is handled inside Nova I might be able to get a concept working.

On a side note would it be possible to send the data as an array instead of json_encoded e.g.
config[message]=test instead of {"message":"test"} this might make the validation work easier. And would stop us having to do

            $request->merge([
                $requestAttribute => json_decode($request[$requestAttribute], true)
            ]);
