Form Validation (not_regex)

[andrew-ireland]

Any Form validation wizards out there?

I want to exclude email addresses with certain domains being able to submit a form. My idea was to use the 'not_regex' to validate the form to achieve this.

Based on the idea of excluding 'gmail.com' addresses, I have the following in place on the blueprint:

          validate:
            - required
            - email
            - 'not_regex:gmail\.com'

I've also tried:

          validate: 'required|email|/not_regex:gmail\.com/'

When I attempt to submit the form with this 'not_regex' rule in place though I'm seeing a '500 Internal Server Error'. It's probably me... not a bug, but can't work out what I'm doing wrong based on the docs!

Can anyone see what I'm doing wrong, or know a better way to do this?

When I attemp to submit, I'm seeing the following in my log:

Method Illuminate\Validation\Validator::validate/notRegex does not exist

Ok, first, not sure that gmail\.com is a valid regex...what is it supposed to find?

Second, I think this is a bug, look like it should be supported but is causing an error, can you open an issue for it?

Regex validators are quirky in Laravel as well. Quite a few times I had to use an array instead of the pipe syntax.

Maybe create a custom validation rule and add that.
