Laravel Exists rule on mutliple columns with OR combiner-CodePudding

I want to have a rule that do something like following:

... from users where email = 'IDENTIFIER' or mobile = 'IDENTIFIER'

<?php

namespace App\Http\Requests;

use Illuminate\Foundation\Http\FormRequest;

class AuthIdentifyRequest extends FormRequest
{
    
    public function rules()
    {
        return [
            'identifier' => [
                'exists:users,email[OR]mobile'
            ]
        ];
    }
}

Is there any solution for this situation in Laravel?

I'm using Laravel 8.x

I'm not sure this is the answer you are hoping for, but it should achieve the desired result.

public function rules()
{
    return [
        'identifier' => [
            // use the @ symbol to differentiate email and mobile inputs
            Str::contains($this->identifier,'@')
                ? 'exists:users,email'
                : 'exists:users,mobile'
        ],
    ];
}
