README

This package allows you to use DTOs with attribute-based validation, just like in Spring Boot.

🚀 Features

• Auto-inject DTOs into controllers from Request
• Validate with PHP 8+ attributes (like #[Rules([])])
• UploadedFile support

📦 Installation

composer require digitalpi/laravel-dto-validator

🧩 Setup

Register the middleware in your app/bootstrap/app.php:

->withMiddleware(function (Middleware $middleware): void {
        $middleware->web(append: [
            \DigitalPi\DtoValidator\Middleware\InjectDtoMiddleware::class,
        ]);
        //or
        $middleware->api(append: [
            \DigitalPi\DtoValidator\Middleware\InjectDtoMiddleware::class,
        ]);
    })

📁 Example

use DigitalPi\DtoValidator\Attributes\Rules;
use Illuminate\Http\UploadedFile;

class UserDTO
{
    #[Rules(['required'])]
    public ?string $username;

    #[Rules(['required'])]
    public ?string $phone;

    #[Rules(['required', 'file', 'mimes:jpg,png'])]
    public ?UploadedFile $avatar;
}

use App\DTO\UserDTO;
use DigitalPi\DtoValidator\DtoValidator;

class UserController
{
    public function store(UserDTO $dto, DtoValidator $validator)
    {
        $validator->validate($dto);
        $path = $dto->avatar->store('avatars');

        return response()->json([
            'username' => $dto->username,
            'stored' => $path,
        ]);
    }
}
