Laravel 5 Custom Validator resolver not found - laravel

Question

Hi Guys I would like to register my new CustomValidator class. This contains some validation for a mobile number I created this class
<?php
// This class is located in App\Validator
use Illuminate\Validation\Validator;
class CustomValidator extends Validator {
public function validateIsKyc($attribute, $value, $parameters)
{
return $value == 'is_kyc';
}
}
Now in my AppServiceProvider here's my code for loading that class
<?php
namespace App\Providers;
use Illuminate\Validation\Validator;
use Illuminate\Support\ServiceProvider;
class AppServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
{
/**
* Bootstrap any application services.
*
* #return void
*/
public function boot()
{
Validator::resolver(function($translator, $data, $rules, $messages)
{
return new CustomValidator($translator, $data, $rules, $messages);
});
}
/**
* Register any application services.
*
* #return void
*/
public function register()
{
//
}
}
And on my request I tried using the custom validation like so
<?php
namespace App\Http\Requests;
use App\Http\Requests\Request;
class CreateRegistrationRequest extends Request
{
/**
* Determine if the user is authorized to make this request.
*
* #return bool
*/
public function authorize()
{
return true;
}
/**
* Get the validation rules that apply to the request.
*
* #return array
*/
public function rules()
{
return [
'phone_no' => "required|isKyc",
];
}
}
But I get this error
FatalErrorException in AppServiceProvider.php line 23: Call to undefined method Illuminate\Validation\Validator::resolver()
Don't know what went wrong any idea please...

Answer 1

In the file App\Validator\CustomValidator.php you need to add at the beginning
<?php namespace App\Validator;
In the file AppServiceProvider.php you need to add at the beginning
use App\Validator\CustomValidator;
and also replace this
use Illuminate\Validation\Validator;
with this
use Validator;

My bad guys,
I already know the solution, i doing something wrong, i wasn't aware im putting my code into the register function instead to boot() function.
From
public function register()
{
Validator::resolver(function($translator, $data, $rules, $messages)
{
return new CustomValidator($translator, $data, $rules, $messages);
});
}
/**
* Bootstrap any application services.
*
* #return void
*/
public function boot()
{
}
to this,
public function register()
{
}
/**
* Bootstrap any application services.
*
* #return void
*/
public function boot()
{
Validator::resolver(function($translator, $data, $rules, $messages)
{
return new CustomValidator($translator, $data, $rules, $messages);
});
}
now i can manage my customvalidators to one class only. :)
