Validation not returning errors Laravel 7

Question

I have been trying to validate input fields on a project I'm working on. It has not been returning the validation errors. Also each time I remove the validation and I attempt to submit the form data after filling it, it returns an undefined index error.

This is my Controller


namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Hash;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Mail;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\staffLogin;
use Validator;
use App\Country;
use App\Category;
use App\User;
use App\Resume;
use Image;
use Auth;
use Session; 
use DB;


class EnrolController extends Controller
{
    public function home(){
        $title = 'home';

        return view('staff.home');
    }

    public function profile(Request $request){
        $title ='profile';

        $user_id = Auth::user()->id;
        $user_name = Auth::user()->name;
        $user_email = Auth::user()->email;
        $userDetails = User::find($user_id);

        if($request->isMethod('post')){
            $data = $request->all();
            // echo "<pre>"; print_r($data); die;
            $data = request()->validate([
                'category_id' => 'required',
                // 'firstname' => 'required|regex:/^[\pL\s\-]+$/u|max:255',

Try the following

use use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Validator;
//...
$validator = Validator::make($request->all(), [
     'category_id' => 'required',
     ...
]);

if ($validator->fails()) {
     return redirect()->back()
         ->withErrors($validator)
         ->withInput();
}

$data = $validator->validated();

I tried doing it that way but it returns a Type error. TypeError Argument 1 passed to App\Http\Controllers\Controller::validate() must be an instance of Illuminate\Http\Request, array given, called in C:\wamp64\www\virtual\app\Http\Controllers\EnrolController.php on line 41

I also tried using $data = request()->validate([ ]); which worked before but still no luck

Did you tried the Validator facade ? if not check my updated answer

Fiyinfoluwa Osuntola Over a year ago

ErrorException Undefined index: category_id came up on using the updated answer with the Validator facade

Foued MOUSSI Over a year ago

I missed this instruction $data = $validator->validated(); . Hope it solves the issue
