Laravel | Unique validation where clause
Solution 1
Here is a rough idea with this you can achieve what you
You can use Rule
class to customize the validation rule for you.
'email' => ['required', 'string', 'email', 'max:191',Rule::unique('users')->where(function ($query) use ($request) {
return $query->where('company_id', $request->company_id);
})],
Hope this helps
Solution 2
This should answer your question.
'required|email|unique:company_users,email_address,NULL,id,company_id,' . $request->company_id
This means, the email must be unique while ignoring a row with an id
of NULL
and where its company_id
is the same as $request->company_id
.
The except parameter ignores rows to compare against the validation. E.g., an email address of [email protected]
has already been taken by user 1
but you did this:
'unique:company_users,email_address,1'
It will ignore user with id
of 1. So inputting the same email will still pass since the existing user with the same email has been ignored.
Which is not the same in your case, because you just dont want to ignore a special row, but you want to ignore a row based on a condition. So that is how this answer helps you, by adding more field validations after the ignore parameter.
You might want to take a look at this: laravel 4: validation unique (database) multiple where clauses
Solution 3
It has to be like:
required|email|unique:company_users,email_address,' . $request->company_id
The format is:
unique:table,column,'id to exclude'
Or if you want to validate based on a column you can do a separate query:
$exists = Model::where('company_id','!=',$request->company_id)->where('email',$request->email)->count()
if($exists) {
// return an error or a validation error
}

Admin almost 2 years
I am trying to validate the input of a email address that exists but only when the company_id is the same as the company_id which is passed in with the request.
I am getting this error...
SQLSTATE[42S22]: Column not found: 1054 Unknown column '1' in 'where clause' (SQL: select count(*) as aggregate from company_users where email_address = myemail.com and 1 <> company_id)
I have read online and the way to do it is to associate the table and the column inside of the validation which is what I am doing.
This is my current code...
required|email|unique:company_users,email_address,company_id,' . $request->company_id

Admin about 6 yearsHow does it know what it is the company_id I am wishing to exclude though?
-
Admin about 6 yearsEven if I change the id of the company it says it's already being taken. Seems like that's doing a global search the email?
-
Sletheren about 6 yearsit knows that the
ID
belongs to the table given in the rule in your case itscompany_users
, so what it does it selects all the email from that table and excludes the row that has the ID equals to what u wanted to exclude then it counts how many rows -
Admin about 6 yearsThe structure is
| id | company_id | email_address | password |
this doesn;'t seem to work -
Sletheren about 6 yearsare those the columns of the
company_users
? -
Admin about 6 yearsthey are the columns yeah
-
Admin about 6 years
Unknown column '
6' in 'where clause' (SQL: select count(*) as aggregate from
company_users` whereemail_address
= [email protected] and6
<> company_id` -
Sletheren about 6 yearsokay I guess I got what you want to do, you're not making it based on the ID but rather on the
company_id
which is not a primary key, to make it work you should use a query rather than a rule, I will edit my question to show u how -
Admin about 6 yearsThat seemed to work for the email being unique, but then how do I chain on the required + email validation I had on before?
-
PULL STACK DEV about 6 years@tallent123 you can use separtely 'email' => 'required' and then this
