How to modify data attributes before method "rules" called in Request class in method prepareForValidatio?

[umarov-safar]

it is my code:

public function prepareForValidation()
    {
        $this->merge([
            'phone' => preg_replace('/[^0-9]/', '', $this->phone)
        ]);
   }

Thank you for great package!

So I think at that point in the execution, the phone attribute will actually be at data.attributes.phone.

I tried it but not work

public function prepareForValidation()
{
      $this->merge([
          'phone' => 2344234234,
         //and
         'data.attributes.phone' => 4234234523
      ]);
}

I used this way it works perfect

public function prepareForValidation()
{ 
   $data = $this->data;
   $data['attributes']['phone'] = 1111111;

    $this->getInputSource()->replace(['data' => $data]);
}

Ah yes, should have said that I didn't expect the string "data.attributes.phone" to work - I just meant it as the path! But glad to see you figured it out.
