Laravel 9 - guide with Form Request Validation scenarios on Nested Array Inputs
I've spent hours debugging this and I've spent hours debugging this and I'm relatively new to this, so bear with me... I'm relatively new to this, so bear with me. I'm working with an scenario with form request validation in Laravel 9 when trying to validate nested array inputs. I have a form that submits data for a product, which includes a nested array for the product's specifications. The input structure looks like this: ```json { "name": "Sample Product", "specifications": [ { "key": "Color", "value": "Red" }, { "key": "Size", "value": "M" } ] } ``` In my `FormRequest` class, I'm attempting to validate the specifications like so: ```php public function rules() { return [ 'name' => 'required|string|max:255', 'specifications.*.key' => 'required|string', 'specifications.*.value' => 'required|string', ]; } ``` However, when I submit this form, I'm getting the following validation behavior: ``` The specifications.0.key field is required. ``` I confirmed that the input is being sent correctly by logging the request data, and the structure appears to match what I'm expecting. I also tried using `specifications.key.*` instead of `specifications.*.key`, but that didn't resolve the scenario either. I've looked through the documentation and various online forums but haven't found a clear explanation of why this validation is failing. Any insights on how to get the nested validation to work properly would be appreciated! This is part of a larger service I'm building. Any ideas what could be causing this? I've been using Php for about a year now.
