Laravel 5.8 Validation - always bail on any rule

Question

Is there any possibility to set FormRequest rules to default use bail rule without typing in it?

Instead of:

class StoreRequest extends FormRequest {
    function rules() {
        return [
            'name' => 'bail|required|min:3',
            'last_name' => 'bail|required|min:3',
            'names' => 'bail|required|min:3',
            'email' => 'bail|required|email',
            'type' => 'integer|min:10|max:50',
            // [...]
        ];
    }
}

I would like to get more cleaner version, like:

class StoreRequest extends FormRequest {

    protected $stopsOnFirstError = true; // I can't find anything like this

    function rules() {
        return [
            'name' => 'required|min:3',
            'last_name' => 'required|min:3',
            'names' => 'required|min:3',
            'email' => 'required|email',
            'type' => 'integer|min:10|max:50',
            // [...]
        ];
    }
}

Update:

Some of my rules are defined as array:

'type' => [
    'bail',
    'required',
    'integer',
    Rule::in(ContactType::getValues()),
],

1) Without making it more complex use string replacement

<?php
$rules = [
            'name' => 'required|min:3',
            'last_name' => 'required|min:3',
            'names' => 'required|min:3',
            'email' => 'required|email'
        ];
$stopsOnFirstError = true;
if(stopsOnFirstError){
  array_walk($rules, function(&$value, $key) { $value = 'bail|'.$value; } );
}

print_r($rules);
?>

Output :

Array
(
    [name] => bail|required|min:3
    [last_name] => bail|required|min:3
    [names] => bail|required|min:3
    [email] => bail|required|email
)

2) You can also do this in other way , by just adding '*' => 'bail', to apply for all fields

class StoreRequest extends FormRequest {
    function rules() {
        return [
            '*' => 'bail',
            'name' => 'required|min:3',
            'last_name' => 'required|min:3',
            'names' => 'required|min:3',
            'email' => 'required|email',
        ];
    }
}

You can always override the validator method in your form request class:

class StoreRequest extends FormRequest {

    private function prependBailOnRule($rule) {
        if (is_string($rule)) {
            return "bail|".$rule;
        } else if (is_array($rule)) {
           return array_merge([ "bail" ], $rule);
        }
    }

    //Adapted from FromRequest::createDefaultValidator
    public function validator(ValidationFactory $factory) {
        return $factory->make(
             $this->validationData(), 
             array_map([$this, 'prependBailOnRule' ], $this->container->call([$this, 'rules'])),
             $this->messages(), $this->attributes()
        );
    }

    function rules() {
        return [
            'name' => 'required|min:3',
            'last_name' => 'required|min:3',
            'names' => 'required|min:3',
            'email' => 'required|email',
            'type' => 'integer|min:10|max:50',
            // [...]
        ];
    }
}

Here I'm using Laravel 8 and easily stop the validating on the first error by setting the $stopOnFirstFailure = true;

class StoreRequest extends FormRequest{
protected $stopOnFirstFailure = true;

public function rules()
{
    return [
        'name'      => 'required|min:3',
        'last_name' => 'required|min:3',
        'names'     => 'required|min:3',
        'email'     => 'required|email',
    ];
}

}
