Right here, i'm able to easy represent the way to make custom validator rules in laravel 8 software and it is quite simple, so that you have to simply observe bellow step, make certain you may create most effective for laravel 8.

We make instance from scratch. In this example i take number text field and you can just enter even number, in case you enter odd number then to procure validation errors.

So let's start the lesson...

Step 1: Create Custom Validation Rule

In first step, we will create custom validation rules by run following command. Bellow command through you can create Validation rules file and we can write a logic on that file. So let's run bellow command.

php artisan make:rule CheckAgeRule

Next, after successfully run above command, you will found new "rules" folder in app directory. In rules folder you will also found CheckAgeRule.php file. We have to simple write logic there, if you enter even number then return true otherwise don't do anything.

So, you should have file like as bellow:

app/Rules/CheckAgeRule.php

<?php
namespace App\Rules;

use Illuminate\Contracts\Validation\Rule;

class CheckAgeRule implements Rule
{
    /**
     * Create a new rule instance.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function __construct()
    {
        //
    }
    /**
     * Determine if the validation rule passes.
     *
     * @param  string  $attribute
     * @param  mixed  $value
     * @return bool
     */
    public function passes($attribute, $value)
    {
        if ($value < 30) {
            return true;
        }
    }
    /**
     * Get the validation error message.
     *
     * @return string
     */
    public function message()
    {
        return 'The :attribute must be less than 30.';
    }
}

Step 2: Add Routes

Here, we need to add two routes for create form get method and another for post method. so open your routes/web.php file and add following route.

web.php

use App\Http\Controllers\CustomValidationController;

//Custom Validation
Route::get('/custom-validation', [CustomValidationController::class, 'index'])->name('custom.validation.index');
Route::post('/custom-validation/store', [CustomValidationController::class, 'store'])->name('custom.validation.store');

Step 3: Create CustomValidationController

Here, now we should create new controller as CustomValidationController. So run bellow command and create new controller. bellow controller for create controller.

php artisan make:controller CustomValidationController

Next bellow command you will find new file in this path app/Http/Controllers/CustomValidationController.php.

In this controller will create seven methods by default as bellow methods:

1)index()

2)store()

So, let's copy bellow code and put on CustomValidationController.php file.

CustomValidationController.php

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Rules\CheckAgeRule;

class CustomValidationController extends Controller
{
    public function index()
    {
    	return view('customValidation');
    }

    public function store(Request $request)
    {
    	$request->validate([
            'name' => 'required',
            'age' => [
                'required', 
                new CheckAgeRule()
            ]
        ]);

    	dd("continue...");
    }
}

Step 4: Create View File

Finally at the end of this example, we have to create customValidation.blade.php file, in this file we will create form and display validation error so let's create customValidation.blade.php file and put bellow code:

customValidation.blade.php

                        </ul>
                    @endif
                    <form action="{{ route('custom.validation.store') }}" method="post">
