How can I sanitize laravel 5.X Request input?

Question

I have a class MyRequest.phpextending App\Http\Requests\Request. I want trim()every entry before verification, because the email with a space after it has not passed verification.

However has sanitize()been removed fromsrc/Illuminate/Foundation/Http/FormRequest.php

Answer 1

I just stumbled upon the same problem.
I would like to show you another way to do this without extends, but with traits. (I'll take sample classes from Tarek Adam).

PHP Traits - , . , Trait - , extends do. , e.x. , , .

Laravel BaseController, .

\App\Traits\SanitizedRequest.php. , . .

namespace App\Trait;

trait SanitizedRequest{

    private $clean = false;

    public function all(){
        return $this->sanitize(parent::all());
    }


    protected function sanitize(Array $inputs){
        if($this->clean){ return $inputs; }

        foreach($inputs as $i => $item){
            $inputs[$i] = trim($item);
        }

        $this->replace($inputs);
        $this->clean = true;
        return $inputs;
    }
}

use SanitizedRequest.

namespace App\Http\Requests\Forms;

use App\Http\Requests\Request;
use App\Trait\SanitizedRequest; // Import the Trait 

class ContactRequest extends Request {
    use SanitizedRequest; // This line adds all the Trait functions to your current class

    public function authorize(){ return true; }
    public function rules(){ return []; }
}

• SanitizedRequest, Request.

• YourRequest SanitizedRequest.

• SanitizedRequest Request:: all() ...

  namespace App\Http\Requests\Forms;
  use App\Http\Requests\Request;
  
  abstract class SanitizedRequest extends Request{
  
      private $clean = false;
  
      public function all(){
          return $this->sanitize(parent::all());
      }
  
  
      protected function sanitize(Array $inputs){
          if($this->clean){ return $inputs; }
  
          foreach($inputs as $i => $item){
              $inputs[$i] = trim($item);
          }
  
          $this->replace($inputs);
          $this->clean = true;
          return $inputs;
      }
  }
  

CustomRequest, SanitizedRequest laravel.

    class ContactRequest extends SanitizedRequest{
        public function authorize(){ return true; }
        public function rules(){ return []; }
    }
