This PR adds the missing
unlesscounterparts to the existing conditional validation rule builders (Rule::requiredIf(),Rule::excludeIf(),Rule::prohibitedIf()).Motivation
Laravel provides
Rule::requiredIf(),Rule::excludeIf(), andRule::prohibitedIf()for closure/boolean-based conditional validation. However, theunlessvariants are missing. While you can negate the condition (Rule::requiredIf(! $isFree)), theunlessform reads more naturally in many contexts and matches the naming convention users expect when they see theIfvariants exist.Example usage
Works with closures too:
Added
Rule::excludeUnless($callback)- excludes the field when condition is falseRule::requiredUnless($callback)- requires the field when condition is falseRule::prohibitedUnless($callback)- prohibits the field when condition is false
