v1.19.0

[1.19.0] — 2026-08-02

Added

• #[InferRules] — auto-generate validation rules from property types.
  • Opt-in per class: string/int/float/bool/array map to their matching Laravel rule, enums to Rule::enum(...), all prefixed with required or nullable based on the property's own nullability.
  • Nested cascade: a nested BaseData or #[DataCollection] property gets ['required'|'nullable', 'array'] for itself, plus the nested class's own rules cascaded under dot notation (address.city, items.*.price). Only cascades through classes that themselves contribute rules; self-referential and mutually cyclic BaseData graphs stop at the cycle instead of recursing forever.
  • #[Rules] interop: an explicit #[Rules] on a property still replaces the inferred rule by default — pass merge: true to append to it instead (#[Rules(['max:100'], merge: true)]).
  • Zero runtime cost: resolved once in ClassMetaFactory::build() and cached like every other rule, same as hand-written #[Rules].
  • Documentation: see #[InferRules].
