Artisan Commands

make:form

Generates a new form class extending AbstractForm:

php artisan make:form ProductForm

Creates app/Forms/ProductForm.php with the fields() and configure() stubs ready to fill in.

make:form-request

Generates a FormRequest that delegates validation to a form class:

php artisan make:form-request ProductFormRequest

Creates app\Http\Requests\ProductFormRequest.php. Open it and set the form class reference:

<?php

declare(strict_types=1);

namespace App\Http\Requests;

use App\Forms\ProductForm;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Http\FormRequest;

class ProductFormRequest extends FormRequest
{
    public function rules(): array
    {
        return ProductForm::rules();
    }
}

If your form class requires constructor arguments, pass them through rules():

public function rules(): array
{
    return ProductForm::rules($this->route('product'));
}
