Array validation misapplied

[bytestream]

Laravel: 5.5.40
jsvalidation: latest

Support to validate array fields using non array rules was added in 4bf612a under #206

I have inputs such as:
<input name="emails[0][id]" type="hidden" value="">
<input size="30" name="emails[0][address]" type="email" value="" id="emails[0][address]">

Which is validated with:
'emails' => 'required_if:parent,0|nullable|array'

$emailRules = [];
foreach ($this->request->get('emails', []) as $k => $v) {
    $emailRules["emails.$k.address"] = 'required_if:parent,0|nullable|email';

The emails rule is getting applied to both elements above, because of

laravel-jsvalidation/resources/assets/js/helpers.js

Line 352 in 00c0fad

return new RegExp('^'+regexpParts.join('.*')+'$');

which produces: ^emails\[.*\]$ and matches both of the above elements.

I don't expect the emails rule to be applied to all children. I suspect, it's a special case as it was introduced to cater for: #180. With this in mind, the regex should be

return new RegExp('^'+regexpParts.join('[^\\]]*')+'$');

so it only matches single dimensional arrays. At the moment the greedy quantifier means it's matching [0][id]

@maganius please provide a test case, the fix works fine for the case I wrote above

I have selects such as:
<select class="form-control" id="service_type" name="services[0][service_type]">

In the FormRequest validator

public function rules() { return [ 'port' => 'required', 'services.*.service_type' => 'required|array', 'services.*.subservice_type' => 'required|array', ]; }

I tried change the RegExp and
the JsValidatorFactory.php where this replace * for # <- with this in the js validator appear the rule but it no validate the selects. #298

The first select is static but I have a button to add more select dynamically

Yeah your issue is #297

This (#333) is a different issue
