Laravel Excel Row Validation with conditions depends on another field input - laravel

Question

I need to validate every rows from excel user upload in laravel which already converted to numeric array.
The validation i wanted is :
to make sure that the 1st field (0) is not blank,
then check whether the input is 'PRODUCTION-PROJECT' or not, if yes, then the 2nd field is required (1).
how to achieve this ?
My Controller Import class
$file = $request->file('file');
$reader = new \PhpOffice\PhpSpreadsheet\Reader\Xlsx();
$reader->setLoadSheetsOnly(['Upload']);
$reader->setReadDataOnly(true);
$spreadsheet = $reader->load($file->getRealPath());
$sheet = $spreadsheet->getActiveSheet();
$array = $sheet->toArray();
The array looks like this :
array:8 [
0 => array:11 [
0 => "PRODUCTION-PROJECT"
1 => "Consumable equipment expenses"
2 => "2022-07"
3 => "2022-08"
4 => "Forstr"
5 => "DOMESTIC"
6 => "ABCDE"
7 => "IDR"
8 => 2000
9 => 1
10 => "Enim temporibus est quis."
],
1 => array:11 [
0 => "PRODUCTION-PROJECT"
1 => null
2 => "2022-08"
3 => "2022-08"
4 => "RX"
5 => "DOMESTIC"
6 => "FGHIJ"
7 => "USD"
8 => 2000
9 => 1
10 => null
],
];
The validation i've tried so far like so :
$validatedData = Validator::make($array, [
'*.0' => 'required',
'*.1' => Rule::requiredIf('*.0' === 'PRODUCTION-PROJECT')
];
and the validation didn't show any error

Answer 1

The params of Rule::requiredIf should be a callback function that you need to custom the rule and input.
It's better to change Rule::requiredIf('*.0' === 'PRODUCTION-PROJECT') to 'required_if:*.0,PRODUCTION-PROJECT"'
so the correct code is :
$validatedData = Validator::make($array, [
'*.0' => 'required',
'*.1' => 'required_if:*.0,PRODUCTION-PROJECT'
];
