Method validate does not exist - Laravel 5.4 [duplicate]

You should try this:

$validateFields = array('email' => 'required|email'); $this->validate($request, $validateFields); 

OR

$this->validate($request, [ 'email' => 'required|email' ]); 

Well means its no longer available in 5.4 however its available in controller

Try:

 $this->validate($request, [ 'email' => 'required|email', ]); 

You can use the Validator service provider.

 namespace App\Http\Controllers; use Newsletter; use Illuminate\Http\Request; use Validator; class SubscriptionController extends Controller { public function subscribe(Request $request) { $request->validate($request->all(),[ 'email' => 'required|email', ]); } 

 $validator = \Validator::make($request->all(), [ 'mobile_number' => 'required']); if ($validator->fails()) { return redirect()->back() ->withErrors($validator) ->withInput(); } 

Hope this works for you..

Actually If you add the right controller, validate method should be already included. You can try adding below controller.

Instead: use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;

Add validator service and clear cache after making changes

namespace App\Http\Controllers; use Illuminate\Http\Request; use Illuminate\Foundation\Validation\ValidatesRequests; class RecaptchaController extends Controller { public function store(Request $request) { $this->validate($request,[ 'name' => 'required', 'email' => 'required|email', 'phone' => 'required|min:10', 'g-recaptcha-response' => 'required|captcha' ]); return "success"; } } 

You can clear cache with the below artisan command on your terminal. Note: remember to check the directory you run the command.

php artisan cache:clear 

You can use regex pattern of this email validation. protected function validator(array $data) { $messages = array('email.regex' => 'Your email id is not valid.'); return Validator::make($data, [ 'email' => 'required|email|max:255|regex:/(.*)@myemail\.com/i|unique:users', ],$messages); }
