Allow only numeric and float values with validation in Laravel

I have a field days in my model, now I want to only save integer or float values in this column.

Values can be like:

• 1
• 2
• 0.5
• 2.5

I tried to use numeric but then it is not allowing me to input float values:

$this->validate($request, [
    'days' => 'required|numeric|min:1|max:50',
]);

Any help is highly appreciated.

Thanks

You can try custom validation rules for your case. Example:

'days' => 'required|regex:/^d*(.d{2})?$/'
