Custom Validation Rules

[hettiger]

Please correct me if I'm wrong with anything written below but ...

I think it is impossible to add custom validation rules when using laracasts/validation.

class LaravelValidator implements FactoryInterface {

    // ...    

    /**
     * @param Validator $validator
     */
    function __construct(Validator $validator)
    {
        $this->validator = $validator;
    }

    // ...

• You are type hinting Laravel's Validator here which results in a new instance
• Validator::extend() wont extend laracasts/validation's instance of Validator
• LaravelValidator is missing an extend() method to get around this

I don't think that I'm doing something wrong because my custom validation rule is working if I do the following in php artisan tinker:

$validator = Validator::make(['test' => 'foo'], ['test' => 'bar']);
$validator->fails();

Is there any other way to extend it easily that I missed? If so an update to the docs would be awesome.

I got the same issue and have no clue.

I am using Regex:/^$/i rule as a workaround.
