Deep dives
Fluent Email Validation Rule in Laravel 11.38
A new fluent email validation rule was introduced in Laravel 11.38 to enhance the validation experience. This rule allows developers to define email validation in a more intuitive way, mirroring other fluent validation rules like those for password and file validation. Instead of using traditional array or string syntax for defining validation rules, the new rule enables developers to chain commands fluently. This could involve commands like 'rule email, arrow strict, arrow DNS', providing a clear and structured approach to validation.
