Aren't you tired of having to create a `FormRequest` class for almost every invokable `Controller` you create?

It turns out, [with a few tweaks](https://lorisleiva.com/if-formrequests-and-invokable-controllers-had-a-baby/), you can use a `FormRequest` class as a controller.

This package provides only one class: a `RequestController` class that extends the `FormRequest` class we all know and adapt it slightly so it works as an invokable `Controller`.

## Installation

```bash

composer require lorisleiva/request-controller

```

## Usage

``` php

class MyController extends RequestController

{

    public function middleware()

    {

        return [];

    }

    public function authorize()

    {

        return true;

    }

    public function rules()

    {

        return [];

    }

    public function __invoke()

    {

        // ...

    }

}

```

Note that the `middleware`, `authorize` and `rules` methods are all optional and default to the value displayed in the example.

Since `RequestController` extends `FormRequest`, you have access to all the methods you are used to, like:

- `$this->get($attribute)` — To access a request attribute.

- `$this->route($attribute)` — To access a route parameter.

- `$this->validated()` — To access the validated data.

- `$this->user()` — To access the user.

- Etc.

Similarly, you can override the same `FormRequest` methods you are used to, in order to customize the validation logic:

- `attributes()` — To provide user-friendly names to your attributes.

- `message()` — To customize your validation messages.

- `withValidator()` — To extends the current validator.

- `validator()` — To take full control over the validator created.

- Etc.

Enjoy! ✨
