Changes

  • Alters the validateBoolean method of ValidatesAttributes.
  • Adds additional tests for a new strict parameter.

Why

Currently you can't validate for a pure boolean value in Laravel. This non breaking change would allow for that.

This is needed because when designing APIs and documenting them you'll specify that the JSON should only use a strict boolean value. The validation as it is, is designed to be more useful for validating forms where different values other than a strict boolean value might be sent e.g 1 or '1'.

Example

$v = new Validator($trans, ['foo' => true], ['foo' => 'Boolean:strict']); // passes

$v = new Validator($trans, ['foo' => '1'], ['foo' => 'Boolean:strict']); // fails

Notes

Putting strict made the most sense. Happy to change to something else but it seemed the most consistent with other validation rules.

Will be followed up with a new PR to the Laravel Docs upon approval.
