Object validation adonis

[smrn90]

i want to write a rule for object validation in the custom validator rules. I'm unable to write these rules for location.lat, location.lng.
any help will be appreciated.

It's done, here it is,

get rules() {
    return {
      // validation rules
      address: "string|required",
      username: "string|required",
      bio: "string|required",
      profile_pic: "required|file",
      //       "skills.*.id": "required|number",
      "location.lat": "required|number",
      "location.lng": "required"
    };

**get messages() {
    return {
      "address.required": "Address is required!",
      "address.string": "Address must be string!",
      "username.required": "username is required!",
      "username.string": "username must be string!",
      "bio.required": "bio is required!",
      "bio.string": "bio must be string!",
      "profile_pic.required": "Profile Image is required!",
      "profile_pic.file": "Profile Image must be file!",
      //       "profile_pic.skills.*.id": "Id is required",
      //       ["location.lat"]: "location.lat is required",
      "location.lat.required": "location.lat is required",
      "location.lat.number": "location.lat must be a number",
      "location.lng.required": "locstion.lng is required"
    };**

Hi, I was not able to write the rules and messages specifically for the properties of the array. I ended up with this.

"use strict";

class PostProfileValidator {
  get rules() {
    return {
      // validation rules
      address: "string|required",
      username: "string|required",
      bio: "string|required",
      profile_pic: "required|file",
      //       "skills.*.id": "required|number",
      skills: 'array',
      'skills.*.id': 'number|required',
      location: "object|required",
      "location.lat": "required|number",
      "location.lng": "required|number"
    };
  }

  get messages() {
    return {
      "address.required": "Address is required!",
      "address.string": "Address must be string!",
      "username.required": "username is required!",
      "username.string": "username must be string!",
      "bio.required": "bio is required!",
      "bio.string": "bio must be string!",
      "profile_pic.required": "Profile Image is required!",
      "profile_pic.file": "Profile Image must be file!",
      //       ["location.lat"]: "location.lat is required",
      "skills.array": "skills should be an array of object.",
      "skills.*.id": "id is required as an object of array",
      "skills.*.id": "id is required",
      "location.required": "location is required",
      "location.object": "location must be an object",
      "location.lat.required": "location.lat is required",
      "location.lat.number": "location.lat must be a number",
      "location.lng.required": "location.lng is required",
      "location.lng.number": "location.lng must be a number"
    };
  }

  async fails(errorMessages) {
    return this.ctx.response
      .status(400)
      .send({ ResponseCode: "Fail", errorMessage: errorMessages[0].message });
  }
}
