List of Laravel validation rules

Question

Is there a master list of all available rules for Laravel request validation? I have only seen the ones shown in the docs, but there must be more than just 4-5 rules. I know I can make custom ones, which I am currently, but I would like to know all of the available ones.

Answer 2

I don't know if anyone else will find this useful, but you can use reflection to figure out the validators:

$validatorClass = new ReflectionClass(Illuminate\Validation\Concerns\ValidatesAttributes::class);

collect($validatorClass->getMethods(ReflectionMethod::IS_PUBLIC))
  ->filter(function($method){
    return Illuminate\Support\Str::startsWith($method->name,'validate');
  })
  ->map(function($method){
    return str_replace('validate_', '', Illuminate\Support\Str::snake($method->name));
  })
  ->dd();
