Laravel Predefined options in form request

I've created a FormRequest to validate some fields, and I would like that one of those fields only accept the options that a I give it

Searching I found something like this

"rule" => 'required|in:Option1,Option2,Option3',

This accept only the predifined options, but in the error message only shows

"The rule type is invalid."

And I would like that too shows the valid options predefined in the rules. How could i do this?

Solution

  • In the end I modified my rule to this:

    "rule" => ['required', 'in:Option1,Option2,Option3']

    and I customized the error message with the following

    public function messages()
    {
        return [
            'rule.in' => 'The rule field must be Option1, Option2 or Option3.'
        ];
    }
