I have a unique rule in file UpdateAnimeRequest, and I want to implement a unique rule like this: https://laravel.com/docs/8.x/validation#rule-unique
The problem is if I want to update without changing the title then the unique error appears, how can I prevent this error from appearing when the user doesn’t want to change the title input field?
Here is the contents of my custom request file:
JavaScript
x
<?php
namespace AppHttpRequests;
use AppRulesValidGenre;
use AppRulesValidWord;
use IlluminateFoundationHttpFormRequest;
use IlluminateSupportFacadesGate;
class UpdateAnimeRequest extends FormRequest
{
public function rules()
{
return [
'title' => 'required|unique:animes,title|max:25',
'genres' => [
'required', new ValidGenre(), new ValidWord()
],
'status' => 'nullable|regex:/1/',
'link' => 'nullable|url',
'motivasi' => 'nullable|regex:/^[a-zA-Z0-9_s-]*$/',
];
}
public function authorize()
{
return Gate::allows('anime_access');
}
}
Can someone help me to implement ignore self in my custom request?

Answer
first if you want to ignore self then you must have anime_id to know if this have self or not then rule can be
JavaScript
'title' => ['required', "max:25", Rule::unique('animes', 'title')->ignore($this->anime->id, 'id')],
