UpdateCountryRequest

Form request class for validating Country update data. This request supports partial updates and context-aware uniqueness.

Namespace

JobMetric\Location\Http\Requests\Country\UpdateCountryRequest

Overview

The UpdateCountryRequest validates incoming data when updating an existing Country entity.

Key features:

• Partial updates: all fields are optional (sometimes)
• Context injection: accepts country_id via setContext() to exclude the current row in uniqueness checks
• Static rules method: provides rulesFor() for programmatic validation

Context Management

The request supports external context injection:

$request = new UpdateCountryRequest();
$request->setContext(['country_id' => 123]);

The country_id is used for CheckExistNameRule so name uniqueness excludes the current country.

Validation Rules

All fields use sometimes, meaning they are only validated if present.

Field	Rule	Description
name	sometimes|required|string|max:255	Country name (unique, excluding current)
flag	sometimes|nullable|string|max:255	Flag filename/key
mobile_prefix	sometimes|nullable|integer|min:1|max:999	Calling code
validation	sometimes|nullable|array	Regex patterns list
address_on_letter	sometimes|nullable|string	Address template
status	sometimes|boolean	Enabled/disabled

Static Rules Method

rulesFor()

$input = ['name' => 'Updated Name'];
$context = ['country_id' => 123];

$rules = UpdateCountryRequest::rulesFor($input, $context);

Usage Examples

    return response()->json(
        Country::update($id, $request->validated())
    );
