Laravel 5 Validation Trim

Question

I am a beginner in Laravel 5.

How can I remove whitespaces in validator?? i have read the documentation but there is no validator for trim(remove whitespaces).

Answer 1

Due to the documention laravel HTTP Request by default laravel trim all the requests data.

and Trim the request in validation part is so dirty job. You could manage this feature like trim or convert empty string to null with the middleware

because middleware execute before the validation and you could have clean data in validation
