Can't parse array validation rules?

[torkiljohnsen]

Seems as if the rules parser is unable to parse rules as the ones described here: https://laravel.com/docs/5.2/validation#validating-arrays

For instance users.*.email.

At least these do not show up in my parameters list in the generated documentation at all.

@torkiljohnsen have a look at this issue #1 (comment). This might help to parse the array as well.

Is there a solution to this issue already?

[torkiljohnsen]

I gave up on this.

[jwolowski]

That's not good news, but thanks anyway.
@mpociot @jgardezi do you have any idea about how to solve this issue?

Hi @mpociot we are having the same issue, without the input data, L5.4 will remove rules with wildcard: https://github.com/laravel/framework/blob/5.4/src/Illuminate/Validation/Validator.php#L761

thats why when calling Validator::make with an empty data array then call getRules function inside the getParameters function in the AbstractGenerator.php will not get the rules with wildcard.
https://github.com/mpociot/laravel-apidoc-generator/blob/master/src/Mpociot/ApiDoc/Generators/AbstractGenerator.php#L82

Im wondering whats the benefit of creating a Validator instance and use its getRules function, when getRouteRules is returning all the rules to generate the doc already?

[jgardezi]

@jwolowski no I was not able to solve the problems. Now in my project I trying a different approach using http://swagger.io/ for API documentation. The package I have found is https://github.com/DarkaOnLine/L5-Swagger. However, I have not tried it.

This should be fixed in #299. Let us know how it goes.
