Laravel password validation fail on "min length" if empty
laravel, php, validation
Solution
It's look like what you want.
$validator->sometimes('password', 'min:6|confirmed', function ($input) {
return (strlen($input->password) > 0);
});
Problem
My validator rule looks like this: ``` $validator = Validator::make($request->all(), [ 'name' => 'required|min:5|max:255', 'email' => [ 'required', 'max:255', 'email', Rule::unique('users')->ignore($id), ], 'password' => 'min:6|confirmed', ], [ 'confirmed' => 'Hasło musi się zgadzać', 'unique' => 'Wpisz inny adres email, ten adres jest zajęty', 'required' => 'To pole jest wymagane.', 'min' => 'To pole musi mieć minimum :min znaków.', ]); if ($validator->fails()) { return redirect('/panel/users/'.$id.'/edit') ->withErrors($validator) ->withInput(); } ``` When i edit user without change password, validator fails with 'min' rule. As you can see my validator doesnt require password, so why it validating?
