README

A package to add custom validation rules for Laravel, including country-based phone number validation.

🚀 Features

• Country-based phone number validation.
• International phone number validation.
• Easy integration with Laravel validation.
• Supports multiple countries (more coming soon).

📦 Installation

You can install the package via Composer:

composer require byteweld/laravel-validation-rules

After installation, Laravel will automatically discover the service provider.

If you're using Laravel <5.5, you need to add the service provider manually in config/app.php:

'providers' => [
    Byteweld\ValidationRules\Providers\ValidationServiceProvider::class,
],

🛠 Usage

You can use the validation rules in Laravel’s validation system.

📞 Country-Based Phone Number Validation

Rule: phone_number:{country}

This rule validates a phone number based on country-specific criteria.

Example Usage

$request->validate([
    'phone' => 'required|phone_number:india',
]);

Validation Logic for India

✅ Must contain only numbers
✅ Length must be exactly 10 digits
✅ Must start with 6, 7, 8, or 9

🌎 International Phone Number Validation

Rule: international_phone_number:{country}

This rule validates international phone numbers according to country-specific formats.

Example Usage

$request->validate([
    'phone' => 'required|international_phone_number:india',
]);

Validation Logic for India

✅ Must contain only numbers
✅ Length must be exactly 13 characters
✅ Must start with +91 followed by a 10-digit mobile number
✅ The number must start with 6, 7, 8, or 9
