Validation for Image Upload and Checkbox Array in Form

[luannebe]

Hi, I am attempting to validate that at least one checkbox is selected, and that an upload file does not exceed a maximum size. All of the validation rules below work as expected, except the ones for 'categories' (an array of checkboxes) and 'filename' (an image file to be uploaded). Any thoughts would be much appreciated!

    public function store(Request $request) {
        $request->validate([
            'date_observed' => 'required|date',
            'street_number' => 'required|max:255',
            'street_name' => 'required|max:255',

            'categories' => 'array|min:1',
            'filename' => 'mimes:jpeg,bmp,png|size:1000',

            'observer_first_name' => 'required|max:255',
            'observer_last_name' => 'required|max:255',
            'observer_email' => 'required|email',
        ]);

Hi @luannebe - FYI Looking at this now and will reply shortly.

For the checkbox you can use the validation rule required to make sure at least one is checked.

I tested the validation you used for files and it worked on my end. Looking closer at your view I'm not seeing an error field view for the file field - perhaps that's the issue? Ref: https://github.com/luannebe/e15/blob/main/p3/resources/views/reporter/create.blade.php#L84

Hi, Thank you! I think figured out the image validation.
