I want to validate my youtube URL like this https://www.youtube.com/embed/xxxxxxxx. How to use the regex in variable link for this?

my code is like this in controller

$validatedData = $request->validate([
    'title' => 'required',
    'subtitle' => 'required|unique:news',
    'category' => 'required',
    'link' => 'required|regex:??',
    'image1' => 'required|image',
    'image2' => 'image',
    'image3' => 'image',
    'image4' => 'image',
    'content' => 'required'
]);

CodePudding user response：

You need to add some custom validation logic for achieving this .Hope this code snippet can help you-

'link' => [
        'required',
        'url',
        function ($attribute, $requesturl, $failed) {
            if (!preg_match('/(youtube.com|youtu.be)\/(embed)?(\?v=)?(\S )?/', $requesturl)) {
                $failed(trans("general.not_youtube_url", ["name" => trans("general.url")]));
            }
        },
    ]

Or like below-

public function passes($attribute, $requesturl)
{
    return (bool) preg_match('/^.*(youtu.be\/|v\/|u\/\w\/|embed\/|watch\?v=|\&v=|\?v=)([^#\&\?]*).*/',$requesturl);
}

'link' => new RuleYoutube,
